[Bug 10905] Re: Can't use any global keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys when applet/menu is open
@Robert Carr; I've assigned this to you as it might be related to the
general focus grabbing issue you are looking into at the moment
(Launcher reveal when menu is open, clicking outside of the Dash,
etc...), please un-assign yourself if this is incorrect.

Reproduce scenario :
- left click on an applet
- try the ^-Alt arrow to switch desktop
When an applet contextual menu is opened, you can't switch desktop with keyboard shortcuts.
Normally,we should have a consistent behaviour in regards with the workspace-selector applet, ie :
- first ^-Alt-arrow (for the workspace-selector : click), the menu is unfolded
- second ^-Alt-arrow , we go to the next desktop
===
see bug 29894 for not being able to take screenshots when menu is open,
another symptom of this bug.

+ shortcut at any moment, including when a menu is open. In the unlikely

+ and the menu keyboard shortcuts, the menu keyboard shortcuts should take
+ precedence.
** Summary changed:
- Can't use any global keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys when applet/menu is open
