Description Sebastien Bacher 2003-12-25 23:01:08 UTC 
This bug was originally reported in the Debian BTS:
http://bugs.debian.org/224054

"This is very annoying if you try to use GNOME only using the
keyboard. This is an accessibility and usability problem, and
that's why it's marked important.

There's no way to access the panels through C-A-Tab before you
click them with the mouse. Example:

I just loged into my gnome session and tried to acces my
top panel to run a gnome-terminal but the panel was not listed
in C-A-Tab... I then used the mouse to click the gnome-terminal
and now metacity puts it on C-A-Tab, but the bottom panel is
still missing, since I didn't click it yet."

Probably fixed in cvs, though someone should confirm.
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2003-12-26 10:40:46 UTC 
I've just tested with the CVS version the bug is fixed, I'm closing it.

Thanks
