I'm not sure exactly what the question is.

Do you want to be able to press the windows key and have the main gnome 
menu pop up? (I'm not sure how to do that, but it's probably possible; 
anyone else know?)

Do you want to be able to use the windows key in combination with other 
keys as a modifier? In things like preferences->keyboard shortcuts it 
shows up as "<Mod4>" - so you can set, say, "Hide all windows and focus 
desktop" to "<Mod4>m" to match the windows shortcut. You can also set 
shortcuts in gconf editor (it's under main menu -> system tools -> more 
system tools -> configuration editor in Fedora Core 1) using the string 
<Mod4>.

is that anything like what you wanted to know?
