My app uses SetSystemUIMode as well. Although, I don't do anything with global hot-keys.

Anyhow, just using SetSystemUIMode works a-ok. With my app frontmost, Expose hotkeys are disabled. My about box launches the preferred web browser (which brings it frontmost). At that point, Expose hotkeys are enabled. Switching back to my app disables them. Also, quitting, re-enables things.

Can you describe a bit more with what you're doing with hotkeys? Are you registering for the same keys that Expose uses?

Specifically, I'm using PTHotKey to essentially shortcut the Carbon routines to register a global activation hotkey. Then, from any app, you can hit the hotkey and my app does it's thing, but ideally without immediately coming to the front. It's essentially then presenting a CGShieldingWindowLevel() window that needs to have complete control, so I'm also manually disabling Command-Q (hide seems to be taken care of with kUIOptionDisableHide). Think of it as a true kiosk application.


My hotkey is not related to the Exposé hotkeys at all.
