SetSystemUIMode disabling Exposé hotkeys

I'm trying to use SetSystemUIMode for some full-screen functionality.

An unintended side effect is that Exposé key shortcuts are disabled but not always re-enabled. They are supposed to be disabled during the mode change and then automatically re-enabled "when some other application becomes frontmost, or when the application that called SetSystemUIMode quits".

Reference: http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/Carbon/RN- HIToolbox/index.html

I've noticed that when using a global hotkey to call the associated functionality and my app is not frontmost, the keys never get re- enabled. This happens 100% of the time.

1) Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I can't find one.

2) Can someone point me in the right direction for reading these keys at launch and then manually re-enabling them myself as a possible workaround?
