My information is that the removal of the WinKey is permanent and forced by Microsoft, because Windows 7 apparently forbids use of that key for shortcuts. This annoyed me too, but it is apparently a Microsoft rule and, as such, will probably affect a number of applications.
Your problem with the text input window going invisible is addressed in version 4.1a of the scripts, which I just posted today and announced on this list. That particular change failed to make it into my release notes though.
