Re: Writing a preference pane that configures hotkeys?

It doesn't look like NDHotKeyControl implements a setReadyForHotKeyEvent: 
method.  Do I perhaps have an older version of the NDHotKeyControl source 
code?  Surely there is something I'm missing here.  I figure I can take 
your word for it on this, since you wrote the class and all. ;-)
