To resolve this I downloaded something called KeyRemap4MacBook to remap the 
left option key to be a ctrl key. It works perfectly! I do like the standard BT 
keyboard that came with the iMac, as I can really speed-type on it, but that 
one issue was irking me.

Just now I finished applying the matte film on my iMac. Took 1/2 hour to do. 
The results? Excellent! It's close, but not exactly like the glass itself being 
matte, just a very slight dispersion/loss of clarity, barely detectable. All in 
all, definitely worth the $50, especially considering I'd pay $100 if this was 
a BTO option. Already my eyes have relaxed just looking at the screen. 

All that's left now is the super-light lithium batteries I have on order for 
the Magic Mouse. They're "in the mail"...
