First it is very funny: Half a year just pointing at each other saying "There's the problem, not here!". :-(

@Thomas Dickey goes Second:
===[ cut here ]===
izzy@nebo:~$ echo $TERM
gnome
izzy@nebo:~$ mc
Unknown terminal: gnome
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.

So much about setting TERM=gnome - and here's your report.

Honestly: Does anybody at least know a work-around for this? It's pretty annoying... Shift-F1 to Shift-F4 are completely unusable - regardless whether one uses xterm or gnome terminal. Konsole also, even if it simply "eats" the keystrokes (without displaying anything).
