Dan: The emacs-style shortcuts you refer to are part of bash, so I don't think removing anything in gnome-terminal would be removing that functinality in bash, unless that was intentional, which would be very very mean. :(
There already is an option available via gconf-editor, that has to do with menu mnemonics. Disabling menu mnemonics in gnome-terminal enables you to keep the menu bar and still have ALT+F and ALT+B be passed through to the application running in the terminal. But I definitely would want this to be a full-fledged option in gnome-terminal's preferences. That would be sweet.
