Understood. However, fixing this bug would, I think, be a big step forward in making Compiz more accessible to blind users. I just ran into this problem when I tried to demo accessibility with orca using Compiz. It mostly seemed to work okay, aside from the fact that I couldn't get focus to go to the panel via a keybinding. >> Now, both Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Tab seem to just switch between >> applications.

Great, I filed this bug: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2224 Brian
