Running xev and hitting left Win key I see
Press event, serial 62, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
root 0xbd, subw 0x0, time 4108575, (122,-14), root:(2406,188),
state 0x0, keycode 133 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: True
Whereas logged in the user when left Win works as super I see
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3a00001,
root 0xbd, subw 0x0, time 3810057, (59,-10), root:(1427,97),
state 0x10, keycode 133 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
I ran
xmodmap -pke > mymap
and for left win, keycode 133 (as deduced from xev above) I see
keycode 133 = Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key
whereas logged in as working user I see
keycode 133 = Super_L NoSymbol Super_L
I editted mymap and changed the entry for 133 to Super_L and ran
xmodmap mymap
and now left win works as Super.
The remaining question is whether this a deficiency in the upgrade path
to 11.04 or whether I had a strange setting in 10.10 that caused the
problem (or possibly both of course). I have no recollection of
changing keyboard mappings in the past.
