This continues to work.

But I cannot add new ones using gnome-keyboard-bindings, which I how I
added all my existing shortcuts in previous gnome releases.

Now when I press the mod4 key, the shortcut is immediately bound to
Super_R instead of waiting for me to type in the 2nd key. Mod4 has
essentially lost its function as a modifier and is just a key.

I would be happy for a text based tool, but I could not find anywhere
in gconf-editor to change/add keyboard modifiers.

I remember having the same problem a while back. I think I fixed it by
changing the layout options for Alt/Win key behaviour to "Super is
mapped to the Win keys" in Keyboard Preferences.

I don't know why this is needed, but it seems to work for me.
