Re: focussing the desktop [was: Mozilla - like JAWS or like Hal?]

In addition to focusing the desktop we really need a quick and easy way to
get to the pannel. Perhaps a new hot key such as alt+control+p.
I don't mind alt+control+tabbing, but there are times I want to go directly
to the pannel and nowhere else.
