Public bug reported:
Nearly all keyboards have a Windows button like this one:

When using Windows, pressing this key brings up the Start Menu, the
central starting point for launching applications and accessing folders
and documents.
Ubuntu's equivalent to the Start Menu is the Main Menu at the top left
of the screen on a default installation (Applications / Places /
System).
Currently the Windows button is not mapped, which seems like a waste of
a button that's not going away any time soon. To most users coming from
Windows, the most intuitive behaviour would be if said button opened
Ubuntu's Main Menu. This is easily doable through System -> Keyboard
Shortcuts, but most users don't change default settings.
This would be a good papercuts candidate as it requires no coding, just
a change in default keyboard shortcut preferences for the next Ubuntu
edition.
