Installer not navigable from keyboard

I seem to recall this coming up before, though I can't find the report. In any event, ubiquity is just using a GtkComboBox here; if it isn't possible to tab out of it, then IMO that's a GTK bug.

That doesn't looke like a gtk bug, the combobox don't steal the focus in other applications, that's likely due to something ubiquity is doing. Using ctrl-tab works correctly you can use that as a workaround. Confirming on gutsy

That's because can_focus is set for the combo, this simple patch fixes the bug

  * XS-Vcs-Bzr is now Vcs-Bzr.
  * Strip out support for creating multiple users in migration-assistant.
  * Save state in between runs of migration-assistant (LP: #151126).
  * Added partman/check.d/03partition_too_small to warn the user when a
    partition isn't large enough to contain the respective part of /rofs
    (LP: #48355).
  * Modified scripts/install.py to handle ENOSPC.
  * Tore out partition_help. This may be replaced by more detailed help text,
    viewable by pressing a help button.
  * Don't set can_focus on the timezone combo box as it prevents you from
    tabbing back out of it. Thanks Sebastien (LP: #136665).
