I'd like to suggest that we pre-configure the Windows key (and the
Apple key on PPC?) to launch the applications menu.
That may make sense for a PC keyboard, but many people seem to be
annoyed at it in Windows, because it's effectively a modal interface
and it's easy to get into the mode by accident.

As for PPC, if almost everyone using Ubuntu on PPC will have previously
used some version of Mac OS, they will be used to the Command (aka
Apple) key being used for standard keyboard shortcuts (Undo, Cut, Copy,
Paste, Open, etc). So having the Command key do anything other than (a)
act as a Control key, or (b) nothing at all, would be very frustrating.
At the moment it can be activated with Alt-F1, but this key
combination is not possible for some users. You can activate sticky
keys or mouse keys which would generally cover this need, but those
are not activated on a fresh install and cannot be accessed without
using the menu :( (see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HandsFreeEmailing)
...
I suggest fixing that bug instead, then. :-)
Cheers
