Scott, I'm coming up with a CS to fix this (since I need it too).

What do we think that cmdGesturesEnabled should suppress?

I'm in favor of suppressing:
* halos
* meta-menus
* world menu(s) (though maybe this should be a separate pref in case 
someone wants to override the world menu)

And I'd like to make the cmdKeysInText not suppress some keys (I was 
thinking about keeping a Preference with the list of valid cmd keys 
in the text).

Also, why are there "hard coded" prefs? This gets in the way of 
loading themes that change these. I could see having a theme that is 
a "end user" theme.
