Bug Description
Unity uses the Super key to activate Unity functions. Some OEM's have contractual requirements from Microsoft that pay them to put the Windows logo on that key, and preclude them from shipping the key mapped to anything other than the Windows Start menu. Unity should be usable in cases where the OEM ships it unmapped, facilitating the user's mapping of the key to Unity's requirements.
* If you would like more information on this please contact Pat in Canonical OEM services.

It's the Super key, and it's a standard feature of keyboards since long
before Microsoft asked people to put a Windows logo on it ;-)
We know that we need to be able to ship it inactive, and intend to allow
and facilitate users to map it themselves. I'm going to retitle the bug
accordingly.
