Remove the focus patch applied to 2.6.3-2
(debian/patches/001_metacity-focus.patch) to revert to the previous
behaviour that means you have to Alt+Click to focus panel applets.

Then, if you like, download
<ftp://ftp.netsplit.com/pub/mendacity/mendacity-2.6.3-focus-panel-and-desktop.patch.gz>, uncompress it and place it in debian/patches instead.  This makes the panel get keyboard focus when you just point at it, fixing the problem.

(Note that I request that packages containing any 'mendacity' patches do
not get called "metacity" until the patches are applied upstream, if
that ever happens.)
