I sat with the same issue after upgrading to 12.04 and installing Gnome Shell. I tried to disable Alt+F1 from wherever I could, to no avail.

As I was about to give up I found this gist: https://gist.github.com/2402448

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings panel-main-menu "[]" # disable Alt+F1

Indeed works for Alt-F1. I found the following way to list built-in keybindings: for k in `gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings`; do echo $k = `gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings $k`; done – Jesse Glick May 23 '12 at 15:03
