Cardy's (#38 above) solution works for me in Gutsy.

I am observing the same behaviour as noted above:
- Setting "Super is mapped to the Win-keys (default)" in Keyboard Preferences 
causes 
Keyboard Shortcuts to accept the Win-key as a modifier
- The displayed result is "Mod4+Page_Down" or similar
- In gconf-editor, the corresponding key in 
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/ has a value of e.g. 
"<Mod4><Hyper>Page_Down"
- The shortcut doesn't actually work.

Some additional things I've observed:
- Manually changing the gconf key to "<Mod4>Page_Down" or "<Hyper>Page_Down" 
has no effect.
- Trying the same process with "Hyper is mapped to the Win-Keys" set in 
Keyboard Preferences produces *identical* results (including the values of the 
gconf keys).
- Setting "Press any of Win-keys to choose 3rd level" in Keyboard Preferences 
causes "Mod5+Key" to be recorded in Keyboard Shortcuts, with a matching 
"<Mod5>Key" visible via gconf-editor. However, the shortcut does not work.
- The fix suggested by Cardy (manually entering <Win>Key in gconf-editor) works 
regardless of *any* settings concerning the Win-keys in Keyboard Preferences.

I hope this extra information helps.
