Yes, it can be triggered accidentally and it adds a twist to the 
modifier/accelerator paradigm.  But in practice it's a very practical feature 
which I've rarely seen triggered accidentally.  And before KDE could handle 
the Win modifier, I had the impression that many users had assigned the Win 
key to the sole purpose of opening the K-Menu (I was not one of them).

OK, I'll make it an option.  Whether it'll be enabled or disabled by default 
doesn't matter to me.  Maybe we can leave that to the usability team...
