Anthony,

It turns out that you must have the #menuKeyboardControl preference 
set to true for this trick to work.

The default "outOfTheBox" theme has #menuKeyboardControl set to 
false.  But if you simply toggle that preference on, you'll be able 
to issue desktop-command-keys to the desktop menu.

Sorry for my misleading earlier claim that you could "always" trigger 
desktop-command-keys by first hitting shift-esc.  You can always *get 
the desktop menu* by hitting shift-esc, but you must have 
#menuKeyboardControl set to true if you want to speak to that menu 
from the keyboard.

Cheers,

   -- Scott


PS:  The fix I sent earlier for the Refactoring Browser is still a 
legitimate fix -- without it, e.g., you'll never get cmd-shift-L to 
work as a desktop command key in a system with the RB loaded -- but 
it turns out to be unrelated to the primary issue here.
