Yes -- the problem is that starting with Tiger the menus apparently 
interpret more keys than they did on Panther (in Panther, I was 
responsible for all non-command keys).

I'll refrain from cursing, but key handling in OS X isn't the most well 
thought out thing, especially when they mix in Carbon “managers” in 
Cocoa programs that eat half your keys...

But I'll try to figure out what's going on, when I run Tiger on my main 
partition!
