Actually, they send out keycodes (Kinda obvious, if they didn't windoze coudn't us them either.
On debian in /etc/kbd, I added this to default.map.gz: keycode 125 = Last_Console keycode 126 = Decr_Console keycode 127 = Incr_Console
125 = left window key 126 = right window key 127 = menu key
In X I have these keys setup differently. right window key is another 'alt' key. the left window key is front/back (ie: sun), the menu key is just that, the root menu.
