Summary:                    xfwm keythemes seem to think mod4/super is always on!
Description: 
Recently, I believe after upgrading my Xlibs package to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 (I
think this is the version which exposed the problem), my keythemerc has
been acting very strange, and I've had to turn it off because the way the
bug happens is very frustrating.

My keythemerc is set up so that I can switch workspaces and exec programs
using either super (windows key) or alt as modifiers..  For example, if
Super+l is set to run xflock4, and I type an L at any time, my xflock4
will be run, regardless of the status of Super.

I've tried messing with xmodmap to fix this, here is how I'd tried:

$ for i in `seq 1 5`; do xmodmap -e "clear mod$i" ; done
$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmap
$ cat .xmodmap
add Mod1    = Alt_L Alt_R
add Mod4    = Super_L Super_R
!keycode 0x73 = Super_L
!keycode 0x74 = Super_R

here is a keythemerc snippet which seems to show the problem. note that if
one were to switch Super for Mod4 (which happens to work in xbindkeys and
windowmaker for the same function), the behavior would still be present.

workspace_1_key=Super+1
...
shortcut_2_key=Super+Return
shortcut_2_exec=xfrun4

I love your WM, but this is very frustrating, and I just don't know how to
approach fixing it, so any insight you can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks!
