You probable have, try downloading it again from my site, you also 
might want to download my Popup Dock application <http://homepage.mac.com/nathan_day/.cv/nathan_day/Public/Software/Popup%20Dock%202.1b%20(10.5).dmg-binhex.hqx

and look at how the views are set up for the IB file within the 
preference pane, it use the NDHotKeyControl in a cooler way than the 
example that comes with NDHotKeyEvent, I will have to update the 
example app to show this when I get a chance.
