Same problem here on Ubuntu 7.10.

Workaround:
Run gconf-editor
Change keys in 
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings
apps/metacity/window_keybindings
Say <Mod3> or <Mod4> or <Mod5> to tell the key you mean, "<Mod4>m"

You can find and set the modification bits with xmodmap:
$ xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock      
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Super_L (0x7f)
mod4        Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x74),  ISO_Level3_Shift 
(0x7c)

If your map does not look like this one, use xmodmap to change the modification 
bits:
clear Mod4
add Mod4 = Hyper_L
or similar
An alternative is to use xkbcomp (read out keyboard table, change, read back 
in), but this is trickier.
