"Super L" vs "windows key"

[Karl Bowden]

This is a know problem with the keyboard shortcut editor, I'm not sure
how to fix it, but you can get around it by editing the gconf values
by running gconf-editor and browsing to
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings and editing the values you require
in there.
There are also pairs of run_command_1-12 that you can assign and and
the edit the command they run in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands.
That is if you use metacity and not compiz.
For ie I have:
/apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 = <Super>e
and
/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 = nautilus --no-desktop

And that emulates the windows behavior fine for me.
