10.4: Fix a Spotlight/International keyboard shortcut issue

Tiger only hintSpotlight is a great new addition to OS X, but if you use alternative input languages toggling with Command-Space, you'll run into trouble.

If you go into the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard and Mouse System Preferences panel, you will notice that Command-Space is assigned to both Spotlight and alternate text input. However, changing it here will not permanently keep your new key commands. The way to fix this is to go into the Spotlight pane under System Preferences, and you'll see a checkbox for Spotlight keyboard shortcut. Change that to whatever suits you, and now you should have no problems.

It's not the best hint, but I think it'll save some of us some time who are new to Tiger.
