Hi Vincent: Thanks for asking! We generally try to make sure bugs are filed so there are no surprises. I did a quick bugzilla search and came across the following. Some are gnome-applets related, but I think there might be some opportunity in gnome-panel to help them.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103223 - Notification Area needs keynav. This is a long standing bug which has been the source of much frustration for keyboard only users. The underlying cause has since been pushed to GTK+, but it gives an example of the kinds of things to look for. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342094 - Keyboard navigation in applications menu. I'm not sure I completely agree with this one. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428074 - Mixer applet breaks keyboard navigation. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307981 - Launcher properties provides no way of specifying a keyboard shortcut. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331693 - No keyboard-shortcut for Drawer on gnome-panel. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149495 - keyboard bindings (related to Stickynotes). http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463934 - Keyboard accelerators are incoherent (comment from a heavy keyboard user) As a general rule of thumb for tracking down keyboard navigation problems, unplug your mouse and see if you can still access the features of your application efficiently. Thanks!
