Assuming you are using FC2(this is where it started), there is a bug in one of the XKB mapping files. Perhaps this URL will enlighten you:I never used FC1 so I dont know if this is something that started in FC1 or not. However, I used to use my win-key for many many shortcuts in RH9. Like win+<arrow> would move my virtual desktops, win-m for mail, that sort of thing. It was a good way to use shortcuts that wouldnt interfear with other applications. KDE doesnt allow me to do this anymore. I click the 'custom shortcut' hit the winkey, it shows win+ but then when I hit the next key win+m, it goes back like it acknowledged it however, its only the m key, not win+m.
Does anyone know what could cause this? I used to have a custom keymap back in 5.2 to get this to work, do you think this could help me now?

I use one of the patches posted there, and it works. Weird that it wasn't fixed in the updated Xorg version that was released a while ago.
(BTW, you call it the Winblows key, but you still find it quite useful, don't you ???)
