Robert,

The following commands will configure Metacity to recognize the
"Windows key" (mod4) + "T" and tell it to open gnome-terminal:

gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_2 \
                 -t string "gnome-terminal"
gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_2 \
                  -t string "<mod4>t"

The first command says what to run, the second assigns the 
keystrokes.  You just have to run these once as the user you 
wish to configure.

You'll notice "command_2" in each of the instructions above.  
You can configure 12 different commands for Metacity in this way
(_1 through _12) but _1 is preconfigured on RH9.  Alternatively, you 
can use"gconf-editor" instead of the command line version above.  
It is very similar to the MS Windows registry editor.

Cheers,
Sean
