So I was using a windows keyboard at a client site this week and used the Keyboard & Mouse system prefs to do the alt/command switch so the external keyboard would work correctly. The problem is now the built-in keyboard seems permanently remapped. Switching things back in the pref pane doesn't have any impact.

Anyone know where OS X stores these settings? Or a good suggestion on how I might be able to fix it?

TIA.

Not so far. Deleted a few preferences to no success. It doesn't happen on another account, so its something related to this particular account. I think I've resigned to live with it until Snow Leopard is released in the hopes that 'fixes' it.
