I'm trying to get Linux setup for a bit of desktop try-out. Unfortunally I first need to resolve a little USB/Mouse related issue.

Is there any way of controlling the GUI (default one with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, gnome it seems) with only a keyboard. I get the 'feeling' that it really really requires you to use a mouse.
I can under Windows (except some non-standard applications and games).

Does anyone have some knowledge how to do so?

P.s. I'm already know that CTRL+ALT+Fx drops to console, and after 7 it has the graphical console. I can get arround under the console resonably well...
