I have this in my xmodmap (see man page for xmodmap command for
details):

  keycode 0x73 = Super_L
  keycode 0x74 = Super_R
  ...
  clear Mod4
  ...
  add Mod4 = Super_L Super_R

This maps both keys to modifier '4'. Use 'xkeycaps' to find
out the correct keycodes if 0x73 and 0x74 don't work for you
(try a '107 key PC keyboard' layout in xkeycaps).

Bye
