On my Powerbook (5,9) if I press "rcommand n" I get a new shell window, and if I press "lcommand n" it brings the Ambient screen to front. This is the same on Mac mini with PC keyboard etc and is the expected behaviour generally.

Maybe you have some older Powerbook which has an ADB controlled internal keyboard? Those ADB keyboards don't make difference between left and right command keys and that brings some issues to usage. If you define a keyboard shortcut by using the "Sample" feature in IControl, do you get the same command key as a result from both sides?

With ADB keyboards you have to make your own configurations for what you need, because defaults don't work that well or get overlapped functionality. We can't do anything else for it, because it's a hardware issue caused by Apple :)
