Here's what I did. (This is in kdm, but should work the same in xdm. And I'm sure there's a way to do similar with startx.) In /etc/X11/xdm/Xmodmap I put: keycode 115=F13 keycode 116=F13 This maps the winders keys to F13. Then in kde I can tell it that I want F13 to be a shortcut to the menu bar. I also have buttons labled www, mail, and search on this keyboard, so I mapped them the same way: keycode 178=F15 keycode 236=F16 keycode 229=F17 Then F15 starts the browser, F16 starts mail, and F17 doesn't do anything because I didn't have a use for 'search'. You can use showkey or something similar to see the keyboard scan codes (the first number above) that go with a button. Kde makes it easy to use keys as shortcuts, I don't know about other WMs. One caveat, with this setup I wasn't able to get the 'menu' key to act like a right mouse click. Also, only one window key works (the left one which is first above).
