To be honest, it is not so important to me to set actions to Win key alone
(Win+R for Run is something I use really often, though). There are enough
keys around. But since it looks more like a 'function key' rather than
a 'modifier key', it feels right to be able to do so. Anyway, I don't use it
to bring the KMenu:) I barely use KMenu at all!
