OK, so when you press the "Windows" key in the "Compose Shortcut"
window (that pops up when you double-click on a Shortcut field)
nothing happens?

Make sure that the Windows key is bound to a keysym in X.  Try doing 
`xmodmap -e "keycode <keycode> = Super_L"`
where <keycode> is the keycode produced by the Windows key (115 on my
system).  You can get this from `xev` - look above the line
'XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  "''.

That should let you use the Windows key in any keyboard mappinigs.
