In fact the default fbterm configuration (on Debian at least) does not 
steal those key sequences.  They are stealed only if you manually add 
either a setuid bit or a capability on fbterm's binary.  If the setuid bit 
or capability is set by default in other distributions, removing it should 
be enough.  (And if you're annoyed by the warning that fbterm prints 
because it cannot steal those key sequences, you can add a "clear" in you 
shell startup script.)
