For the benefit of anyone who finds this looking for advice on getting
Gnome to pass function keys to an application:  another solution is to
use the mouse and click on the F10 label.  This works in HTOP, for
example.

It also helps to use the built in help -- e.g., HTOP accepts "q" as a
substitute for F10 generally -- but it's had to RTFM using Gnome
terminal, because Gnome hijacks F1, too, and brings up a system help
window.  There doesn't seem to be any way to turn that interception off.
Even if the Keyboard Shortcut for desktop help is changed from "help"
(btw, my keyboard doesn't have a "help" key; does yours?), the terminal
application still intercepts F1.

I would file the F1/F10 issue as a partly-addressed design problem w/
Gnome Terminal, rather than as a bug.
