Description Kirk Bridger 2005-08-05 21:07:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When attempting to assign keyboard shortcuts through the keyboard shortcut
dialogue, depressing the Windows super key results in a Super_L key being
detected and assigned the event.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open keyboard shortcuts
2. Choose an event
3. Depress the Windows key on the keyboard


Actual results:
The word Super_L is displayed in the shortcut field, and input is stopped

Expected results:
Windows key should be recognized as a modifier, just like control and alt.  So
pressing it should simply modify the next keypress.

Does this happen every time?
Yes
