OK, check that you still have Mod3 on the windows key.

Do:

xmodmap -pm

I get:

home> xmodmap -pm
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d), Control_L (0x42)
mod1 Meta_L (0x40)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Alt_L (0x73)
mod5


In my case, the windows key is Alt_L and its mod4.

The bindings above work for me, providing I change the 3 to a 4.

You can use "xev" or xkeycaps to verify that the windows key is
Alt_L.
