I'm afraid it is no longer possible to focus the panel using the keyboard.
This is part of several changes that, at least in my opinion, improve focus
behaviour of the panel. I believe the panel is really designed as a mouse
interface.

For keyboard usage other interfaces may be more useful, such as the run dialog
(with command completion) and opening the menu from a keyboard shortcut.
Unfortunatly this last option doesn't seem to work properly and we have not
found the cause of this problem yet.
