There is definitely no way to do that in wxwidgets, any and all keys that are received generate wxEVT_CHAR_HOOK, which I am receiving. There may be a way to do it in X11, I don't know, but it would require significant system-specific bodgery.
Also it'll tick people off, since if they've configured their WMs to trap a certain key, they probably want it to ;) Just change your mapping in xfce's settings, my xfce certainly does not trap Alt+F.
