Bug#537956: Windows key is a modifier key; mapped to Mod4 instead of Super_L

[Menelaos Maglis]

The left "windows" key is not set as Super_L but as a Mod4 modifier key.

Thus in keyboard shortcuts I cannot use it on its own, only in key
combination. (e.g. Mod4 + M)

result of command xmodmap:
shift  Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock      
control  Control_L (0x25),  Control_L (0x42),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1  Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2  Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4  Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

result of command xev for the key:

FocusOut event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,

This is gnome specific and not anything to do with system keyboard or X
server. The key works fine in a xfce session.

This used to work in Lenny's gnome version.
