Spaces has stopped responding to control keys

Spaces has stopped responding to the control keys. I tried rebooting, no dice. Checked preferences for spaces: they're OK. Using an apple keyboard, and 2 monitors. It worked till most recent update (Safari 4.0.1). Can still switch, but only by selecting application based switching (no convenient!). Any suggestions gratefully received.

Apple Pro 2 x 2.8 Quad Core, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Hi,

Perhaps the control key settings for Spaces got changed somehow. Open System Preferences, then click on the "Expose & Spaces" icon, and click on the "Spaces" tab of the dialog that opens. At the bottom, you will see the current Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts currently in effect for Spaces. Check that the key sequences are what you expect them to be, and if they have changed, you can reset them to what you want them to be.

I'd tried that.
