Ok, this is the keycode you need.  And actually the one I have, too.  I 
mis-read it before.  MIxed up "Windows" key and "Widnows application" key; 
imagine that).

So you need

cat > .xmodmap <HERE
keycode 115 = F31
HERE

xmodmap .xmodmap

Then use the KDE control to assign actions to the Windows key.

If you use my full .xmodmap file that I previously enclosed, then you can also 
assign actions to the "Windows Application" and "Prnt Scrn" keys.

Note that you must run this xmodmap command every time you log in; I don't 
believe that saving a session will do it.

I just make a script:

#! /bin/csh -f

xmodmap ~/.xmodmap

(And a few other things, like xset for keyboard refresh rate.)

and put that into my startup folder on my desktop so that they are 
automatically executed on login.

Make sure you chmod +x the file.
