Hi Actually this isn't quite true although the method for focusing them isn't obvious, nor is it obvious that you are on the indicator applet. Basically, tab around the panel until you hear "menu bar" one to the left of the clock. Press the right arrow. You will then focus the indicator applets with the keyboard. Note though that there are still a few issues here: 1. Indicator is not identified as such, this would be easily fixable. It is identified as "menu bar" instead which, while technically correct in a sense as it does function similar to a menu, isn't descriptive enough since there's already the main menu bar on the panel. 2. While doing this, sometimes you get stuck on the panel and can only tab between the indicator and the clock. The only way out of it I've found is to click the mouse somewhere else. This is more nasty. None of the task switching or panel switching keystrokes will work if you get into this situation.
