I'm currently running it on a laptop, and the Windows key refuses to assign through any method. I can however use the key in combination with any other, for example Mod4+Menu, or Mod4+Z, (the Win key is named Mod4 for me rather than Super L), which isn't a problem but it's quite unnecessary having to assign two keys to a task which in any other OS can be performed with just one. I personally don't use the menu though as I've installed Docky (similar to ObjectDock) and Synapse launcher (similar to Launchy). This doesn’t seem to work running Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition.

For example if you set something to Super + Tab, it will no longer work because the Super will open the applications menu. I should probably ask if someone know how to change the way shortcut keys are processed so that for single key shortcuts its on key up not key down.
