This is a show stopper for anyone who has, like myself, migrated from windows, or anyone seeking to migrate from windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome 2.18.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to set super key to show panel menu 2. 3. Actual Results: It is not possible Expected Results: There should be an option to enable this, as there was in Fedora 6, 5, 4 Additional info: This is a basic piece of functionality without which it is not possible for users like myself to use the computer in a reasonably familiar manner, which is why I am reporting it as a bug. This has never been possible under KDE which demands another key to be used in conjuction with the super key. ( SUSE manages not only to incorporate this funcionality in the os, but even includes the facility that a second press of the key hides the panel menu, also a very fundamental piece of functionality for those used to windows.
Run gnome-keybinding-properties (System/Preferences/Personal/Keyboard Shortcuts) and select whatever you want. Also, if the problem is that the key on your keyboard with a Windows logo is not bound to Super key, go to gnome-keyboard-properites (System/Preferences/Hardware/Keyboard Properties) and in the tab keyboard layout options fix the Win key behavior to your liking in the "Alt/Win key behavior" cateogory. If there is something else going on here, please, reopen this bug with additional information. Otherwise, I think, that this it NOTABUG.
