Ctrl-Alt-Tab cycles focus through all of the GNOME Panels and the desktop 
itself.  This is very similar to Alt-Tab for cycling between top-level 
windows; the GUI widgets are the same and Gnopenricus speaks them the same 
way.  Once focus is on the desktop, arrow keys will move focus betwen the 
icons on the desktop (e.g. "Trash", "Home Folder", etc.).

This is documented in the GNOME Desktop Accessibility Guide.  See section 3.3 
"Navigating Panels".

Let us know once you get StarOffice/OpenOffice.org up and running...
