I am not sure whether Bug 168350 is really a duplicate. If it is, it holds a
better description of the behavior.

KDE definitely gets meta, super and hyper wrong 
My description is as follows: first xmodmap output for modifiers

xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock      
control     Control_L (0x42),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)


1. my (physical) windows-key produces a Super_L with xev, BUT
   when I use it in a shortcut combination in kde input action settings it
   will get recognized as meta_L. Nonetheless the resulting shortcut will work.

2. when I map my (physical) LControl-key to Hyper_L (and check it with xev) 
   and try to use it in a shortcut combination with another nonmodifier
   kde input action settings will recognize it as something weird 
   (strange nonlatin letters will appear in the shortcut-box) and
   the combination will get recognized as a single keypress, no modifier, but 
   as such it will work.

3. when I map my LControl-key to Super_L it will work as the windows key (see
1)
4. when I map my LControl-key to Meta_L and try to use it in a shortcut 
   combination, KDE will recognize it as an "Alt".. combination. Nonetheless 
   the combination will work, also when I press the real Alt.

Please reopen the bug, I'm using KDE 4.4.2 on Kubuntu 10.4., so it is
definitely not repaired in a more recent version as stated above.
