Yes, that box is checked in the "general" section of
the Preferences dialog/window.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Well, the ones you mentioned plus others like close
top most window: command + /, open up a workspace:
command + k, , open refactoring browser: command + b
ect.. 

By the way, cmd-shift-L which does not brings up a
file-list even if the desktop does have the keyboard
focus. Nor is that short cut listed in the "open..."
menu. 

As, I said the world menu does come up upon shift-esc.
However, Squeak still behaves as if the window has the
keyboard focus.

It doesn't under Squeak 3.5 and Mac OS 9.1 on my Mac.
