  Are you referring to Ubuntu 11.04? I get those stupid names mixed

  What desktop are you using? Unity? gnome? KDE?

  I assume that you are referring to the "Run Application" dialogue.
  Am I correct?

  I have heard similar issues being discussed in other media. First,
  I/we should know what desktop you are using.
  Also, running xev - what keycodes do you get for the the Home and
  Windows keys?
  You refer to
> Windows (meta)
 hmmm! My experience is that on ubuntu, slackware and RH the the
 'windoze' key maps to mod4 - as interpreted by the ubuntu gui and
 Super_L by xev.
