KDE key bindings/shortcut keys

Hey,

I've installed the new Core 5 from scratch. I'm trying to configure the shortcut keys through kmenuedit, but for some reason I can't assign any combination involving the Windows key. I'm not sure if this is a Core 5 problem, a KDE 3.5 problem, or an OE (operator error) problem. I would modify the configuration file (if there is one), but I can't seem to find it. If anyone has had this problem, or has any ideas on how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I found the file that kmenuedit makes its changes to: ~/.kde/share/config/khotkeysrc. I set a shortcut to Firefox to rediculious like Ctrl+Shift+D,F,K and searched for it in this file. I found the line that it made the chages to and was able to change this it to Win+F, which is the shortcut I want. Here is this line and the lines that follow:

Code:

[Data_3_1Actions]
ActionsCount=1

[Data_3_1Actions0]
CommandURL=mozilla-firefox.desktop
Type=MENUENTRY

[Data_3_1Conditions]
Comment=
ConditionsCount=0

[Data_3_1Triggers]
Comment=Simple_action
TriggersCount=1

[Data_3_1Triggers0]
Key=Win+F
Type=SHORTCUT

Now, when I look at Firefox in the kmenuedit gui it shows the shortcut as Win+F, as it should be. Unfortunantly, this shortcut does not work; its like I just typed F by itself. Any ideas?
