I just spent an hour or so reading about xmodmap so that I could change my windows key back to a meta key rather than F13, which it's set to by default. After logging back in to KDE though, all my changes were gone.
The startkde script, or more specifically, the /usr/bin/test-windows-key script, overrides any changes you make to the /etc/X11/Xmodmap, which I don't think is a very good idea. Right now the script simply checks /etc/sysconfig/keyboards for DISABLE_WINDOWS_KEY and then calls xmodmap to set the key to F13. It would be nice if /usr/bin/test-windows-key checked /etc/X11/Xmodmap for keycode 115, 116, 117 as well, so that the documentation all over the web that tells you how to fix this would work, and so that I wouldn't have to comment out that script to prevent it from running. -Elliott Martin
