Well fix does what it is supposed to do - prevents binding only keys
without modifiers.

For me on ubuntu 14.04 with default configuration Alt+Tab and Super+Tab
does same thing. For testing I am using Remmina to connect to ubuntu
14.04.

Without fix:
s - opens menu
Tab - switch between last two applications?

With fix:
s - does not open menu. Super + s is supposed to open, but it does not work.
Tab - no longer switch. Alt+Tab works, Super + Tab does not.

Main problem is this - could not find XKB extension. Because of this
metacity fails to get modifier for Super key (and other keys). I would
say that vnc simply needs to support xkb. Of course this might be fixed
in metacity if it is possible to get modifiers without xkb extension.
But I have no time to search for solution.

I will set to verification-done since proposed fix does what it should
and is already reported by two testers.
