A) The ability to assign a larger range of keys to be able to activate Spaces. F8 is used for the keyboard backlight by default. How about the ability to assign the tilde key instead.

I found this while looking for something else, but I wanted you to know that this can be done easily if not obviously.

Go to the "Keyboard & Mouse" preference pane and then the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab. Under "Dock, Expose, and Dashboard" you'll find the current setting for spaces. You can change it here to anything you like. It'll look funny when you go back to the "Spaces" preference pane, but it works.
