Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDn is actually the only shortcut that's guaranteed to  
work "across the rest of the Gnome tabbed interface UI"-- Ctrl+PgUp/ 
Dn sometimes fails when the focused widget eats it to do something  
else, which resulted in lots of bug reports.  That's why the Alt  
variant was added to the notebook widget, and IMHO should really be  
the one that's documented wherever we document that sort of thing  
(Accessibility Guide?)

Cheeri,
