I'd like to see the Win key by itself do the kmenu because most Win users that bother with the Win key are used to that.
So how about altering kpersonalizer? That way a user can select "Windows style", where the Win key is bound to the menu, or "Linux Style", where the Win key does something else.
Thoughts?

I think that is a good option. I have always viewed kmenu start and selection is something I do with a mouse. The option would preserve user choice while opening up the win key to be used in more than 1 way for the users that choose "Linux Style"
Thinking out loud.......
Personally, I don't see why it can't do both. Tap the win key once -> you get the menu, press it, followed by another key and you get the combination behavior. Is there a reason it won't do both? The 'alt' key alone alread does menu focus, why couldn't the win key alone just pop up the kmenu and still be used with other combinations?

All I do to switch between desktops (8 of them) is use my scroll wheel on my mouse or ctrl tab (best way) or use the application button on the taskbar (one must add it). Its very easy. Which is why I think I've missed what David is trying to say?
