From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Fedora Core 3 test 1 The Windows Key and the Menu key are ignored in xorg-x11. The Windows Manager IceWM makes extensive use of these keys. Looking at this URL: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004- August/054446.html>, this appears to be an X problem, not IceWM (as IceWM never gets the keystroke). Running xev does capture the keycode of these keys, clouding the issue. Keyboard is use PC-104, and is set in xorg.conf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install IceWM 2. switchdesk icewm 3. logout/login using default window manager 4. [windows key]-2 should take you to workspace 2 Actual Results: [windows key]-2 feeds "2" to the client window with focus Expected Results: Should go to workspace 2 Additional info:
