Hello Christian:
I had posted this problem some time ago to a Slackware ML. Below is
a copy of the suggestion and my reply. Happy to say that I guess
it is fixed.

Bingo!
Here are the new settings:
Set keyboard layout xkb options as follows:
Control key postion: swap control and caps lock
alt/win key behavior:
Super is mapped to the win keys (default)
but was not set as default
It now appears that emacs on this partition reads the following key
combination:
Win + j
as
H-s-j
while on my RH partition
Win + j is read as
S-j
While on both partitions, 'win' is set to 'super'.
Not really a big deal tho' - just a matter of changing a prefix
key setting, while I'm very happy to be rid of that popup.

(see above)
