IMHO this bug should be fixed in two steps:
  * fix Compiz in order to use Ctrl+Alt+Tab in a sane way (i.e. as metacity)
  * fix libindicator based stuff to act like real menu widget

Comiz has too many a11y related issue: no good keyboard navigation (see bug #228343 for ctrl+alt+tab), no audio feedback for keyboard (see bug #514943), no orca magnifier... IMHO, for the sake of impaired people, we should disable compiz to be automatically enabled if supported by graphic card, and run it on demand.

Libindicate stuff, instead, should implement keyboard navigator ASAP. Note that in Lucid we have now 3 libindicate based applet: the "system" indicator (shutdown, reboot, logout...), te "me" indicator and the messaging notification indicator. We can't add a global shortcut for each one. We should make basic keyboard navigation working (focus the panel, use Tab to focus the applet, use Space to activate it).

PS I've missed this bug previously, so I reported a separate one for libindicate issue: #519195
