Thanks for the answer. I would be quite happy with your suggestion,
but unfortunately i see no F1 or F2 shortcuts defined in my keyboard
settings dialog! The shortcuts defined in there are CTRL+Esc, Alt+F1,
CTRL+Alt+Del, Alt+F2, and CTRL+Alt+Esc.

So it would seem that F1 and F2 are overwritten at some other level...
