Bug Description
Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Tab shifts focus to the desktop or panel. There is no obvious way to bring the focus back to your applications using just the keyboard. (Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right is a workaround).
This is an accessibility problem for those who do not use a mouse, which includes many visually impaired people. They often use the change of focus extensively to instruct the screen reader what parts of the desktop to read out.

I personally feel that this is an item that requires more discussion upstream. I don't think it's useful to just have it as a bug. What do you think?
