Hi Anouk and others, See my archived post on "What is Exposé, and how to use its assigned keys in Fusion" from August: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg08197.html
That was written for Leopard, but I think it should work under Snow Leopard if there is still a menu for Exposé and Spaces under System Preferences that can be used to disable the Exposé keys.
