It seems the GNOME Keyboard applet is screwing stuff up. However, I don't see how to prevent it. Resetting to defaults didn't work, and there seems to be no place in which to add the "altwin:super_win" option. None of the available Alt/Win keyboard options specify that particular altwin option. (though they specify just about every other...) The gnome-settings-daemon is responible for resetting the keyboard options. gnome-keyboard-properties is responsible for setting those options. Both are in the capplets package. The bug is definitely not in X, but in GNOME. Perhaps a reassign is necessary? I can't exactly remove gnome-settings-daemon from my session, since it's responsible for other things. GNOME needs to either add the altwin:super_win option to its list or force "reset to defaults" to actually respect the settings in the server config. Preferably both...
