   usually the win key is already bound to some key (not a modifier),
use xev to figure out what it is. If xev does not show anything
configure your keyboard. Keyobard configuration depends on distro but
one way or another you need to figure out what to use in X config file
which is usually /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Look for
section that looks somewhat like this:


Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "Logitech Cordless iTouch"
         Driver "keyboard"
         Option "CoreKeyboard"
         Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
         # Option "XkbModel" "logicordless"
         Option "XkbModel" "itouch"
         Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

   and choose your "XkbModel" appropriately (see files in /etc/X11/xkb)
