I use Exposé to jump to any application buried in the layers, and if I need to see the desktop, I hit [fn]-F11. On my iMac, F3 pulls up Exposé, but [control]-F3 pulls up a special view of Exposé that only shows the windows that belong to the current application. I can also get to Exposé by squeezing the sides of my Mighty Mouse. Holding the [control] key down while doing that does not give the current-application-view-only version. And, don't forget that in OS X 10.5, all of this is configurable in System Preferences: Exposé & Spaces. You can set up many options for triggering Exposé with mouse buttons, moving the mouse pointer to a corner of the screen, or with the keyboard.
