No.  I think this is an essential feature but....

This would require the Window Manager to be re-written to give focus to
the panel on that key-press, and for the foot to actually popup the menu
when this happens.  If you have more than one panel/foot, things become
complicated.

I have just been ranting on gnome-devel about how trying to make gnome
work with existing window managers can only result in less than complete
integration of the desktop environment, so I won't do it here.
