I believe this behavior varies with the keyboard layout you select[1]. My
setup[2] does not exhibit the issue you describe; the Win key acts only as a
modifier.
You may be able to work around this by going into the Keyboard Shortcuts CC
module and changing the Panel -> Popup Launch Menu shortcut(s).
[1]: Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout
[2]: Sarge, KDE 3.3.0 from sid, Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard. There
isn't a NatMM layout shipped with X, so I'm using the similar Natural Pro
layout.
