It's also possible with the normal gnome-control-center (at least in
GNOME 2.20): open keyboard options => "Layout Options" tab => Compose
key position => "Right Win-key" (or whatever you prefer).

I don't log into a GNOME session, so I have to start the
gnome-settings-daemon after logging in; I do that in my .fluxbox/startup
script.
