Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-session

It's generally possible to use tab or arrow keys in the logout dialog to choose an option. However, when focus is moved with the keyboard, the help messages aren't displayed as they are with the mouse.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click Ubuntu/Quit...
2. Move the mouse pointer over the buttons. Observe help messages explaining the options. Move the mouse away.
3. Press the tab key to switch between options. Observe that there are no help messages.

This looks good, I'll have a small try just to check it runs fine an suggest it to be pushed. Assigning to myself.
