I had the same problem as well, even under GNOME 2.6.

The same here also.

Since I have a bit of sight, I have found that the carrot seems to start at 
the bottom for some reason, and pressing CTRL+Home doesn't always help, and 
you don't know when you are at the top of the page.

Another thing that I think I have mentioned earlier, is that the carrot 
browsing mode doesn't take tables into consideration at all. One has to 
know where the carrot is, and press CTRL+Right Arrow, or Right arrow alone 
to get to the other section of the table.

It will perhaps be a bit more responsive, but that is about it I think.
