I recommend you to use xmodmap, create an alternate xmodmap file
containing the keys you want to map and the function you want it to
perform, for instance I use the windows Menu key to launch gnome's=20
menu and the windows mouse menu key (right one) for a backslash,=20
example xmodmap (for my keyboard):

keycode 115 =3D Super_L  (left menu key)
keycode 117 =3D backslash   (right menu key)

You must run "xmodmap file" or disable the keyboard extensions in X's
configuration in order for that to work. Use xev or xkeycaps to get the
codes. Anyhow if you run xmodmap without arguments you will get your
actual xmodmap with compose/multi keys if there are any.
