Exposé preferences with the new Exposé button!
I got a new MacBook Pro today and it has the Exposé button that is now used on all new Macs. Instead of being F9, F10 and F11, all the features are on a single button, in my case, F3. What is amazing about this button is that it also lets you quickly access Exposé & Spaces preferences. The shortcut is "Option - F3" (or whatever single button is used for Exposé on your keyboard).

Doesn't work for me... When I use this combination, the Spaces preferences window opens. I'm running an alu iMac with the new keyboard.
Lars, Spaces and Expose have the same panel, right? :-)
Also, combination option+dedicated key (or key with fn, if you've changed F-s behavior) allows to open Display panel (opt-F1/F2), Expose/Spaces (opt-F3/F4) or Sound (opt-F10 to F12). Nice!
And, if you're on a MBP, then Option F5/F6 will open the keyboard preferences.
Unfortunately, this only half works if you move your expose keys to another Function key. For example, F10. If you then use Option-F10, it won't do anything. However, I can still do Fn-Option-F3/F4.
space-F3, and control-F3
