Is keynav to unavailable menu items a bug?

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Greetings,

On the GNOME desktop (as opposed to Windows), it isn't possible to arrow 
through unavailable items in a menu.  Arrowing up/down in menus skips over 
those items that are grey-ed out.

When Mozilla is running on GNOME, Mozilla behaves as it does on Windows - you 
can arrow to unavailable menu items (and if you are running Gnopernicus, you 
will be told that these items aren't available).  This has led to some 
confusion on the part of our testers (see bug #155506in bugzilla, at: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155506).

I'm curious what folks' thoughts are on this...
