In most keymaps, they're mapped to one of the modifiers, usually Super

compiz and its successors often used Super+other key or mouse button
as a "do interesting 3D window management things" shortcut.
GTK+ deals with these things in a different way from Qt. This is...
annoying. When you used xmodmap, did you clear the 'Doze key from the
modifier map before binding it to another key?
xmodmap is also only good for binding single keys to other single keys
(or to modifiers). What's "xmodmap -pm" show you? With it and xev, I
can see that the Windows keys are bound to Super_L and Super_R, and
they execute the modifier mod4.
delboy@ladmo:~$ xmodmap -pm
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 sterling (0x85), cent (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
When I start xev and press one of the windoze keys, all that xev does is
print the character.
xbindkeys is a little more flexible than xmodmap, and can bind a key
or key combination to an arbitrary shell command.
KDE and GNOME should have a "keyboard shortcut" utility somewhere in
their nest of config items. It is not as flexible as xbindkeys, but
it is probably friendlier.
Maybe I'll look into xbindkeys.
