+1; when I broke my mouse, and spent about two months with only the keyboard because I was lazy, the only part of the screen I could only get to by using the "mouse keys" was this. I remember reading something about the current notification area gaining some support for this, though. > I am aware this has some implementation gotchas to watch out for. > Some icons do not have a left-click menu (GNOME Do, Rhythmbox); some > have identical left and right-click menus (display status icon).

Since these interactions are being redesigned, GNOME Do, and Rhythmbox icons are probably going to be moved elsewhere, and the display one will probably be redesigned to fit the new ideas, I am hoping there are no unsolvable gotchas, as long as all this is considered when designing what is expected from the apps =).
