It's more than three years later, and I'm still struggling with this same
problem. I've tried wrapping the `define-key' (or `global-set-key') call in
`eval-after-load' to ensure that my rebinding runs *after* the one I find in
aquamacs-menu.el, still to no avail:

,----
| ;; Revert the binding for `recentf-open-files' defined in
| ;; /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/
|      aquamacs/macosx/aquamacs-menu.el:
| (eval-after-load "aquamacs-menu"
|   '(progn
|      (message "Overriding C-x C-r key binding.")
|      (define-key (current-global-map) [(control ?x) (control ?r)]
|        'find-file-read-only)))
`----

The "Overriding ..." message gets printed to the *Messages* buffer, and the
forms before and after this one run with lasting effect, but it seems that
this call to `define-key' happens but the either some other binding replaces
mine afterward, or the global key map in place while Preferences.el is
loading is not the same map that comes into place later.

Is there some way to figure out what's replacing this binding?
