Subject: Mandrake 7.2, KDE 2 and "Windows" key
Message-ID: <01C062D4.30A851A0.wlindley@wlindley.com>

Where do I find how to re-enable the otherwise useless "Windows" key to
pop up the KDE menu in KDE 2 / Mandrake 7.2 like it did in KDE 1? I've
tried various search engines (dejanews, google, etc) but haven't found the
right combination of keywords to actually find an explanation.
