No, sadly not. I don't run Gnome, so the happy solution of turning on Emacs
key bindings globally in Gnome doesn't help and the solution mentioned in
there about ktk-key-theme-name didn't work.  AFAIR the solution had to do with
setting some gnome config files appropriately but I'm damned if I know what it
was.
