You are right. It was my own xmonad.hs config file that caused the
problem.
I was certain that I verified that but apperently not.

I tried it but it turned out that it doesn't have the exact key mapping
I need.

    remove Control = Control_R
    keysym Menu = Control_R
    keysym Control_R = Super_L
    add Control = Control_R

That is, switch the Menu and Right-Control and also make the Menu
key(just to avoid confusion, I want to repeat that on the physical 
keybaord, its written ctrl on it cause we switched them around) 
into the Super key (mod key in xmonad).

Thanks very much for your help.
