For a11y purposes it should be possible to use all of KDE without touching a 
mouse. Being able to select icons and activate them with the keyboard is 
great, but if you still need the mouse to give focus to the desktop first 
then that defeats the purpose a bit.

I guess we have a lot of work to do in that area because the context-menu key 
doesn't work in a lot of places either :-( Maybe we should schedule a 
a11y-week and then release KDE 3.1.3 as a special a11y release.

Cheers,
Waldo
