Just tried this, still, nothing happens withing GNOME's keyboard shorcut.
I use the command "xmodmap -pm" and this is what I get (the line pertaining
to this subject):
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Super_R (0x74)
At this point, I'm thinking that GNOME or metacity is at fault here. Any
help is appreciated.
