There are a few things the Windows key can be used for, but you're right, not a lot.
WindowsKey+M minimizes all windows WindowsKey+L locks the screen WindowsKey+E loads explorer as you say I think there are a few others. And of course there's the ContextMenu key, or whateve you want to call it, that works like a right-click. I set the WindowsKey as Meta on my Ubuntu laptop, which works nicely. And I think I set the ContentMenu key as Compose, although I haven't tried that yet.
