Howdy,

Of course not... bit it was worth a try. :-)

Have you tried to set that shortcut to something else using System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts? If that works you can then set what you want to that shortcut. I can also try to build one for you without that shortcut but I sure don't want to get into the habit of doing that. If I build it you'd have to have OS X 10.5 at the least since I don't have the 10.4uSDK on my system.

Good Luck,
