Hello everybody
After doing a fresh install of Jaunty I couldn't use the win key as a modifier. So I changed the behavior of it in the keyboard settings to "Super is mapped to Win keys" this helped for assigning shortcuts in the keybinding properties.
Since i prefer to use openbox I soon realized that the win key behaved different. All my (openbox) keybindings with the left win key dont work anymore. They do with the right one. They used to work with both.
So I launched xev and got:
Pressing the right win key:

Funny thing is, when i kill gnome-settings-manager, all keys work as expected.
Seems like my left win key acts defferently.
Anyone got an idea?
