showing text for shortcut key

Hey All ~

You might have see that Big Board [1] is using the Deskbar
applet to 
handle it's searching.  We were going to look into patching
it to 
display some light background text when unfocused.  One
thing I'd like 
to display to the user is the shortcut key, it helps people
to learn 
what keys to use in order to access the deskbar.  I also
added the word 
"Search" in front of it to give another hint as to
what the entry is 
for.   See the attachment for the mockup.   I think we might
go with a 
little bit lighter text color, but that's the basic format. 
And the 
Ctrl-Backspace is just a large sample key phrase, I don't
think that's 
the actual one we're going to use. 

Like you see in a lot of web sites and applications the text
would 
disappear when the entry was focused and reappear when the
entry is 
unfocused with out any text left in it.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,
~ Bryan
