I have discussed this with Stefan already and there are some small
backward compatible changes we can do here because usually F10 is
intercepted by gnome, toggle guake, gnome-terminal menu or tmux before
arriving to emacs.

Some of the (non exclusive) options are: 

1) Bind it also to another key

2) Show the binding somewhere (in the same bar or modeline) when
xterm-mouse-mode is disabled.

3) Underline the letter in the menus that "opens" each menu from the
keyboard (as some Windows applications do)

4) Enable xterm-mouse-mode by default in more situations as most of the
popular terminal emulators are xterm compatible (gnome-term, xterm,
konsole, rxvt, guake, terminator)
