yeah, the GUI doesn't like you doing this =/ but if you open up your $KDEHOME/
share/config/kdelobals file ($KDEHOME is usually ~/.kde), go to the [Global 
Shortcuts] section and edit the Popup Launch Menu entry ... set it to Win and 
it should work.

no, it's the opposite. it means "Emacs style" where you do something like 
Ctrl-a then Ctrl-s (or any other two key combo combo)

well, yes and no. the modifier keys are meant to be modifiers, which means 
they are designed to be used with other keys. the win key is probably the one 
alternative to this, thanks to Microsoft's wisdom.
