just how much can you do with?

I'm thinking that Wheezy is using a new enough version of GNOME that 
alt-f1 is bringing up an overview screen instead of the main menu. You 
can press alt-control-tab from there to get to your applications, window 
list, etc., or you can simply start typing the name of the application 
you want, and it will pop up as a button, along with other suggested 
applications that fit your search. Just arrow to the button and press 
space or enter on it, just like any other button. GNOME Shell will take 
a little getting used to, but I picked it up fairly quickly.
