This bug is not reproducible under Feisty Fawn 7.04 . The following test cases were executed
1. I opened up couple of applications and tried closing all of them using the keyboard first time (Alt + F4) and then pressed Alt + F1 and the gnome menu got invoked
2. opened couple of applications and tried closing all of them using the mouse and then pressed Alt + F1, gnome menu got invoked
In the above cases, after closing all the applications i tried traversing through the icons on the desktop by using the keyboard arrow keys and i was able to select a particular icon and open it by pressing enter key.
