My wife has Kubuntu on her laptop, and I Googled for instructions to map the Win key to pop the KMenu, but those instructions don't seem to fit Kbuntu, or perhaps recent versions of KDE. I did find (System settings->Keyboard->Keyboard shortcuts) a means to map keys to tasks, but there is a small problem. I can't map anything to just the Win key. It has to be Win + something else. Right now I've got it Win+Space = KMenu, but is there any way to get the KMenu to pop with just the Win key?
I understand everyone is quite busy with KDE 4, and I can't wait for the release. However, with QT getting an embedded version of KHTML/Webkit, why not take this whole Web Unity step to the next logical level?

I think we are seeing some 'Zeitgeist' h...
As many of you are aware, the FreeDesktop.org project aims at bringing together some common aspects of the free desktop. However, when developing applications, one is still forced to focus either on GTK or QT and in doing so direct their product at one audience predominantly. QT apps can run in Gnome (or Xfce) and GTK apps in KDE, however they don't look fully integrated. Furthermore, because of the fundamental coding differences between GTK and QT, we often have redundant efforts into relativel...
