Under system setting go to input devices and then keyboard.  Under the
keyboard settings click on the advanced tab and then check Configure
keyboard options.  Then scroll down to "Position of Compose key" and
expand that.  Then just select the key you want to use to access the
special characters "Left Win" if you want it to be the same as it was in
the past.
