      I don't even find where I can set any keyboard shortcuts... Seem the preferences menu is much 'lighter' than in 12.04 with Unity?!

      Actually I don't use Unity. For setting any keyboard shortcut you may want to visit keyboard section in system settings. But I didn't find any option to set a shortcut for applications menu.

      I don't use Unity, but Gnome Classic. I installed Unity 12.04 and then instaklled 'gnome-panel'. Now I have what I think is Gnome Classic, but without a keyboard entry in the settings menu. I seem to be missing a package. But probably this is a different question I should post.

    Alt+F1 is hotkey for Activities overview, but NOT for applications menu !

    That is the dash, not the app menu some people are referring to (the menu that replaces the dash in Gnome Classic)
