There are two places where you need to change the shortcuts:

Settings Manager -> Keyboard Settings (Which you have done i assume)
Settings Manager -> Window Manager Settings.

Add a new Shortcut Map and remove the ctrl-F(1-12) keys.
By default they are registered to workspace switching.

Does this work?
