           Summary: Window Manager not receiving Super_L keypress events
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.7.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Server/general
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org

Fedora Core 3 Test 1
Package: xorg-x11-6.7.0-6
Window Manager: IceWM version: icewm-1.2.13-1

IceWM makes extensive use of the windows key (Super_L and Super_R) for workspace
navigation.  As far as I can tell, IceWM is not receiving either the Super_L nor
Super_R keypress events.  The following URL indicates this is a bug with X:
<http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-
August/054446.html>.  Using same version of IceWM on XFree86 supports this theory.

xev reports the following when the windows key (Super_L) is pressed:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 39132174, (96,90), root:(98,114),
    state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001,
    root 0x60, subw 0x0, time 39132392, (96,90), root:(98,114),
    state 0x50, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 

xev provides expected results.

Changing keyboards from a 104 key US keyboard to a Microsoft Natural keyboard
has no effect.
