How can I disable all gnome/linux shortcuts while in rdesktop?

Question

I am constantly troubled by various gnome and linux shortcuts propagating through while I'm in remote desktop on ubuntu.

Some of it I know I can disable in gnome control panel, but I'm also troubled by the stuff like Ctrl-Alt-F keys (which I do not thinks is gnome)

Is there any way to disable all of these shortcuts, preferably only while the application has focus/is running?

Solution

Just like the previous posters, I'm not sure what you mean.

My situation: using rdesktop from Linux to take over a Windows laptop. Using Alt-F4 closed rdesktop instead of the Windows window. After some googling, I added the rdesktop cmd-line switch -G which solved that issue.

If your issue is similar - you might need to add the -G flag also.
