Actually you can probably achieve the same effect by using a combination of
other keys.  Not something I've done a whole lot of messing around with as
I don't use that platform extensively,  but for example using alt-esc, or
ctrl-esc gets the same effect as clicking on the start button.  Stuff like
that...

I'm sure that there are others,  and that there are some that will do what
you want without the need for those keys,  but I don't know what they are
off the top of my head.  Maybe somebody else in here does.

I used to find it amusing to work machines with just the keyboard,  when
the people I was working with could do it _only_ with a mouse.  :-)

It doesn't usually take me that long to notice,  but yeah,  it is annoying
when that happens.  It also seems that under KDE I can redefine that key to
act in different ways.  I haven't picked one yet.
