xkb and the "windows key"



So.  Until today, I had been happily using the "windows key" on my
keyboard as "Mod_4".  That made me happy.  Then, I pulled down sarge's
new X stuff.  My Windows key doesn't do anything anymore.  I've tried
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and changing some of the keyboard
options, but it hasn't helped.  Here's what I have in XF86Config-4 right
now:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "us"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "altwin:meta_win"
EndSection

The altwin:meta_win line is new, but other than that this is the same
keyboard definition that used to work just fine before I installed the
new X server.

I ran xkeycaps and used it and xmodmap to assign functionality to these
keys, but I know that xkb is the "right way" to define keymaps in X.  So
if anybody can help me get things fixed, I'd very much appreciate it!

Thanks.
