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
