    Okay so its day 2 with my new MBP. Expose and dashboard were set to F11 and F12 respectively. I just installed a new mouse and now they dont work. Once I open up system preferences again it just says that expose and dashboard dont have keys assigned to them. A couple of hours ago I was able to get them to save. But now I cant get them back. Any ideas of how to save this?

    Do you play WoW?

    There has been a persistent bug that after exiting WoW, your expose hot keys get cleared.

    Go to sys preferences and go to expose/spaces.
