KDE4: Cannot use Windows key for shortcuts

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi all,

I installed KDE4 from the current svn trunk.  Basically I really like
it, although it still has some problems, i.e. konqui crashes quite often
on sites using flash or java script.

But my main problem is that I cannot define shortcuts that use windows
key in "System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts".
When I try to define a shortcut and press the windows key, the button
displays only some boxes.  (Those boxes you get when the font you use
has no glyph for this character.)

If I type "Win+E" I get "°°°^, E" instead, where ° is a box that seems
to be some subscirpt (it reaches below the button) and ^ is a box in
normal height.

This is what I get with xev when I press the windows key.

Can anyone reproduce this?  What can be the culprit?  Should I report it
at bugs.kde.org?

Bye,
