           Summary: Using the left win key can cause random hangups (maybe
                    in conjunction with the fact that it should open the "K"
                    menu)
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: nick.name@inwind.it


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.93)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

If I press the left windows key, wich I currently use for many window-manager related \
shortcuts, and NOT release it, and press another key, it usually should perform the \
associated action if any. If I press it and release it, in kde 3.2 it opens the K \
menu (please, give me AN OPTION to remove this or at least change the shortcut, I \
can't bear this since it happens that I press the windows key accidentally, and I \
lose the current focus, it's almost unusable).

However, in general, this don't work properly since sometimes something locks up and \
kde starts acting as if I were pressing and releasing the windows key or something \
like that. Clicking on some menu on the panel and randomly pressing esc, the win key \
or something, helps to get out. If there is a way to disable "divine intervention" \
handling of the windows key, I suspect that would be a great workaround ATM. Sorry if \
this is already possible, I can't find it in the control center. Also I am not sure \
it's kwin fault.

bye

Vincenzo
