On my systems (Ubuntu 10.10 in Swedish on two different computers)
there is a "Super is mapped to Win Keys". It's the last option, right
after "Meta is mapped to the Win Keys". On one of my computers
"Super…" is selected, on the other one "Meta…" is selected and they
both seems to work the same way anyway. For example, I have a shortcut
on both my computers that opens a terminal, that is Win+t, and it
works on both computers.
