I think you are correct. Alt-Tab gets no speech. If I go to the top panel 
(Alt-F1) and then hit escape, I am similarly without speech on Alt-Tab and I 
cannot launch the Orca dialogs. However, if I hit Alt-F1 and give the top 
panel focus, I can launch the Orca dialogs.

To me, this looks like a bug, but I'm not sure for whom. If the Orca main 
window is not open, can focus be passed from Orca to the desktop? Or, would 
this cause problems for focusing other applications that are launched on 
startup?

Thanks,
