KDE and Win-Key

Finally, FiNaLlY, FINALLY, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y the Win-Key does what I want it to do!

I installed SuSe 9.1 with KDE 3.2.1... and when I hit the Win-Key the KDE-Menu pops up in the lower left corner of the screen!

I've been trying to make my KDE do exactly that since 2.0 - and now, FINALLY, it works - without me having to do anything!

Now all I need is a shop that sells Tux-Keys for black notebook keyboards :)

How did you get the win-key to do that?
Booting...
No keyboard detected. Please press F1 to continue.

The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they begin producing vacuum cleaners.

The answer is as simple as great: nothing!
I did absolutely nothing! I just installed my SuSe 9.1 and then, by accident, hit the Win-Key and saw the K-Menü pop up...

Some distros have it by default...but it's not magic.

To me it was magic up until now... I tried so many different things and asked so many people and just didn't get it to work.
