I noticed the problem as well, but have been too busy to report it properly: The left Windows key (I'm using a German laptop keyboard as well) broke when upgrading from 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 to -5, no icewm upgrades have been involved. This is most definitely related to the updated XKB data pulled from XFree86 CVS. Cheers, Moritz
