Can't map <Ctrl+Fn> in gVim

In gVim (DE: XFCE4) mapping Ctrl+Fn doesn't work.

These mappings work OK:

map <F7> :OK
map <S-F7> :OK

This one doesn't work (no actions after pressing Ctrl+F7):

map <C-F7> :OK

The :map command shows that <C-F7> is not mapped to anything else.

In XFCE settings in keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+F7, Shift-F7 and F7 all have the same placeholder value: 'workspace_7_key'. Tried to delete this value for C-F7, but it didn't make any changes.

There is some difference in handling Ctrl+Fn as compared to Shift+Fn and Fn in other applications where none of these keys is mapped. When Fn or S-Fn is pressed (e.g. while in mousepad), nothing happens at all. When Ctrl+Fn is pressed - it looks like a window loses focus for a half a second (the window border changes color for a short time). Maybe Ctrl+Fn are intercepted by some program which doesn't forward them further? How can one find out what program highjacks these keys? Maybe this is a known issue in a standard XFCE4 configuration and usual programs: Office, Eclipse, etc. ?
