Hi Marc,

It was the second - Mod4+Super_L that was bound. Since then I've changed 
to using the windows key and z, which comes up as Mod4+z. This works as 
a keyboard shortcut now.

I'm using 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10, like you said. Seems the behaviour has 
changed - "Mod4+Super_L" gets bound. Perhaps this would work for you too?
