[Solved] Windows key isn't Super_L/Mod4 anymore

After a recent update, my Windows key wouldn't work anymore, meaning it doesn't procude my regular Fluxbox bindings. Following this nice wiki: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Mod4

I found out that Mod isn't set anymore:

zsh/3 1572 % xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x71)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4      
mod5        Scroll_Lock (0x4e)

So I tried

 xmodmap -e 'add mod4 = Super_L'

and

 xmodmap -e 'keycode 115 = Super_L'

As it states on the wiki, but neither of them helped, xmodmap -pm still shows the same emptiness for Mod4. I also created an .Xmodmap, put the key assignments in there and loaded it, but it still wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

Btw.: xev output for the windows key is this:

KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
    root 0x87, subw 0x0, time 53871339, (170,38), root:(430,312),
    state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Alright, sorry. That was a little premature, a simple restart X helped...

I'll go stand in that corner over there now.
