Add keyboard shortcut for the panel

[David Barth]

adding a shortcut for accessing the whole panel (ie panel wide kb shortcut, as opposed to the msging menu specific shortcut we currently have) - F10

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Also adding the task to the design radar if F10 is not the right shortcut.
Note: this is the default in the Ubuntu desktop currently and something that was suggested by Luke who can be considered a representative user of accessible interfaces.

Given that F10 has historically been the GNOME shortcut for getting into the menu bar of the focused application, and Alt F1 the shortcut for getting into the Application menu for the purpose of launching the available apps, I wonder if Alt F1 might be the logical choice to solve this bug....

I don't think "historical" shortcuts must be preserved; however if there's no reason *not* to preserve a shortcut, I think it might make the transition from GNOME 2 easier, especially for users who cannot use a mouse.

Will make F10 focus the first entry in the application's menu in the panel. Alt+F1 has been implemented as a way to get to the first launcher item.
