Bug#259740: xlibs: Windows key no longer treated as modifer,just as Super_L

[barbier@linuxfr.org (Denis Barbier)]

clone 259740 -1
reassign -1 capplets
retitle -1 gnome-keyboard-properties: altwin:meta_super must be renamed into altwin:super_win
thanks

A note should be added to some README files to tell users that setting
altwin:super_win is a good idea if they want to map Super to their Win
keys, so I clone this bug instead of simply reassigning it to capplets.

Thanks for investigating this issue.  I launched gnome-keyboard-properties
and found that the option you want (mapping Super to Win keys) is called
altwin:meta_super instead of altwin:super_win in the generated gconf.xml
file.
