same problem as mark all read which we just fixed

GTK2 reservers all ctrl+shift+0-f key commands for unicode input.

*sigh*

This should fix it, patterned on how the other GTK2 issue was fixed.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

vrfy'd fixed with 2004112206-0.9 on linux fc2. shift+F now works to bring up
Search Messages or Search Addresses dialogs. if focus is in textfield, AB
card/group dialog, compose window, this shortcut doesn't conflict, either (the
former scenarios take precendence as expected).
