It should be, although in Ubuntu Breezy at least (that's all I have
access to right at the moment), focus seems to disappear when it reaches
the notification area, and you can't get it back :/  Will need to check
this on CVS HEAD.

Focusing the notification area certainly used to work, but I'm not sure
if it was ever fixed to allow you to focus its icons individually--
internally, at least, the contents of the notification area just used to
be (and possibly still are) a single pixmap.  Can't find the bug about
that right now to check, though.

Cheeri,
Calum.
