/usr/share/xfwm4/themes/default.keys/keythemerc to
$HOME/.themes/xfce/custom.keys/keythemerc (or any other name instead of
`custom') and change. The left win key is Super_L. For example I use

shortcut_4_key=Super_L+t
shortcut_4_exec=xterm

to start xterm with win left and t. You can find out key symbols with
`xev':

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 1099532, (-692,297), root:(363,343),
    state 0x20, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
                                            ========
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""   ^ here ^

HTH.

Gruss,
Bernhard
