Bug Description

Binary package hint: netbook-launcher

Browsing netbook-launcher items is sort of possible using:

1. 'up/down arrows' to select a tab
2. 'enter' to select the tab (if it's not already selected) and 'right' to enter and browse tab contents
3. Then 'arrows' to focus the first tab's item + 'left arrow' + 'up/down' to select another tab (1)

This is what I guessed it should be the right behaviour for it at this point.

Favourites tab however, is selectable (enter) but does not seam to allow browsing without mouse interaction, which makes non-accessible the most important section of the launcher.

Sorry if I hasn't been able to guess the right way to navigate it, if it is another one.

I've also got as issue with this. I'm looking at using pieces of UNR on my mythbuntu HTPC. The menu style is great for an HTPC, if the keyboard ncavigation was cleaned up it would be perfect. I'm also seeing some wierd things where hitting tab makes the highlighted icon disappear. It would also be nice if using the back arrow put the cursor back in the main menu.
