Had I searched for just one more couple of minutes, I would have found this question at SuperUser:
http://superuser.com/questions/278999/problem-mapping-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gnome3 I got my shortcuts to work doing what is described there (mapping Left Win key to Meta under 'Region and Languages'); I believe that I didn't need that in GNOME 2. Regardless of that, would it be plausible to make the Win key do both things -- work as a modifier and as a 'standalone' key, just like in MS Windows (pressing the Win key alone opens up the Start menu, but the Win key can also be used as a modifier for some actions)? Or does it depend on something deeper, not just on GNOME Shell?
