Er, works for what? I thought you couldn't use modifiers as shortcut
keys without having to also press a non-modifier key. That definitely
doesn't work for me: when I try to just press the 'windows' key only to
set a shortcut in the shortcut editor, it doesn't register (as it
shouldn't). With Super_L removed from the modifier list, I could set it
as a shortcut, though it didn't actually work. (When I tried, I didn't
restart X, so maybe that was the problem.)
