keyboard navigation intermittently broken in gnome logout dialog

Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-session

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Click Ubuntu menu/Quit...
 2. Screen fades and logout/shutdown/restart/etc dialog comes up.
 3. *Sometimes* there will be no keyboard focus indicator, and pressing the arrow keys or tab key has no effect. It's possible to click a button with the mouse but if the mouse isn't available I'd be permanently stuck here.

This has happened only twice; I'm not sure how to reliably reproduce it. Perhaps it's to do with some other program grabbing events just as the dialog came up?

I'm using Dapper.

I can't reproduce it anymore. I guess it has been fixed.
