And what about qt applets? So far tests show that when tab key brings on a Qt applet (mumble, owncloud client), the focus is still blocked. Our tests show t hat the problem is not fixed in Mayatana: once on the panel, tab and shift-tab block the focus often. So while SNI is expected to work immediately, Ayatana seems very experimental and not fixing the problem at all, so I am afraid Buster is released with the bug not fixed given the freeze delays, the status of Ayatana, etc. Sure we can workaround but well... I would prefer to stay closely the standards in Debian.

This bug has a fix provided that the default value of SNI support is set
to True.
Thanks for the report; It should be also great to add sni-qt to the recommended packages for Mate panel. It's easy for power user to remove package but difficult for beginner to find what to install to make software working.
I've added a proposed patch to do the following things:
- Enable SNI support by default on Mate panel
- Add sni-qt to recommended package of mate-desktop-environment : to make the SNI support effective, sni-qt has to be installed on the targeted system.
With this patch, the notification area of Mate becomes fully usable by keyboard users.
Best regards,
Alex.
We won't have this in Debian for now as a default setting. Please deploy local .gschema.override files to get this working for you. It can be easily done system-wide, if there are any questions, please get in touch with me on IRC.
The plan for MATE in Debian buster really really is to get Ayatana Indicators fully working:
- mate-indicator-applet is a default applet in the panel
- notification-area, media-applet, clock-applet of the stock mate panel are not used anymore
- xembed support gets added to an extra indicator, so that
applications with xembed-only tray icons can be proxied through an indicator
This will bring you the same result but is much more future proof. Applicaitons with xembed-only tray icon implementation are not up-to-date anymore and should be reworked finally. (Simply dropping xembed support in Debian MATE will not happen, though, the Unity and GNOME people have done that and did not get much applause for it back then...).
