OK...  I'll just mention, though, that it took me a total of about 15
seconds to modify my Windows key: started xkeycaps, left-click on the
Windows key on the displayed keyboard, and picked "Edit Keysyms of Key".
Of course, I still don't know much about X modmap syntax... but I never
had to look up whether Menu was a valid keysym or not.

Some of us prefer practicality, and use the best tool for the
job... even if it does happen to have a graphical interface.
