Bug Description
Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

2. Click on it to give it focus.
3. Press the deskbar-applet shortcut key.
Result: The applet will appear, but any keyboard events will go into the window from (1), NOT deskbar.

You just change your level of Focus Stealing Prevention in Beryl to "None." It worked for me, but worry that it may have some unwanted focus-stealing consequences in other applications.
