Many keybindings don't work with Xorg 7.3

Hi all,

I use the xmonad [1] window manager and use keybindings like "Win+k" to
access its functions.  Since I upgraded to Xorg 7.3 a whole bunch of
these bindings don't work anymore.

All bindings use the Windows key (Super_L) as modifier.  For example
these bindings work:

        Win-k
        Win-1 ... Win+9
        Win-Shift-Return
        Win-Space
        Win-+
        Win-,

And those bindings don't work:

        Win-.
        Win--
        Win-p
        Win-Shift-p
        Win-q
        Win-Shift-q

That's the keyboard config I use:

,----[ /etc/X11/xorg.conf ]
| Section "InputDevice"
|   Identifier  "Keyboard"
|   Driver      "kbd"
|   Option      "XkbModel"        "pc105"
|   Option      "XkbRules"        "xorg"
| 
|   # German Dvorak Type II layout
|   Option      "XkbLayout"       "de"
|   Option      "XkbVariant"      "dvorak"
| 
|   # Make CapsLock a third Control!
|   Option      "XkbOptions"      "ctrl:nocaps"
| EndSection
`----

Does anyone know what the problems could be?

Thanks a lot for any pointers,
Tassilo
