Bug Description

On the latest unity (5.4.0+bzr2041ubuntu0+654), after focusing the desktop, keyboard shortcuts for the menu items do not work. For instance, alt + f does not open the File menu. No alt + letter combination seems to work for the Desktop. It seems some other applications also have problems.

How to reproduce:
Left click on the desktop, noticing the change in the panel to "Ubuntu Desktop" (or the translated equivalent). Now try pressing alt + f (or alt + p in Polish translated desktops) or any other alt + letter combination that should open up a menu item.

Expected outcome:
The given menu is open (for instance, the File menu).

Actual outcome:
Nothing happens.

Unity version: 5.4.0+bzr2041ubuntu0+654
Compiz version: 1:0.9.7.0~bzr3025-0ubuntu1ppa1 (from ppa:sil2100/ppa )
Ubuntu version: precise
Gfx driver: fglrx

The desktop menus don't support Alt+whatever selections right now. No letters are underlined.

Not sure if this is an issue with Nautilus or Unity,
