When I was using fvwm2, I bound it to bring up the fvwm root window.
I could, conceivably, do the same thing in openbox. But enough
keyboards I use don't have that key (laptops don't have it in a useful
place, Kineses don't have it at all) that I've never gotten into the
habit of using it.
(FWIW, the other exciting thing I did with a Windoze keyboard under
fvwm2 was turn the magic Not My OS key into mod4 under X, and then
mod4-* would do window-manager activities. I think for a while I had
mod4-Q log me out, though I had too many unfortunate accidents trying
to fill a paragraph in Emacs to keep that.)
