Try making the command-key equivalent the value '4'.  That's the apple
symbol in the Chicago font, so even though you can't get to Suitcase
via the command-key anymore, it displays a nice looking apple instead
of an ugly box.  You have to do an 'Open General' in ResEdit to type
the actual value in, since you can't generate it from the keyboard.
Actually, it might not be 4, but it's one of those unused low numbers.
Use ResEdit to look at the Chicago font to be sure.

Of course, it would be even nicer if Suitcase were smart enough not to
display anything at all....
