If you are talking about the key that is just to the left of the space.
That is the "meta" key. It's like CTRL, ALT or SHIFT and should be
used to get to extra functions in combination with that key. It
shouldn't really do much beyond that and shouldn't be capable of locking
up your computer.
It is used quite a bit in KDE in hotkeys that adjust the window manager.
For instance if I press META + 0 I get a magnified image around the mouse.

How can I reprogram/neutralize that annoying M$ key on a standard keyboard?
In the past, I have inadvertently hit that key and had it lock up my Linux
system.
I don't know what it is for anyway, other than as an annoying reminder of
M$ anti-trust coercion tactics to try to make the whole world conform to
its dictates.
