How to make "win" key works in KDE 4?

Hi, guys, I wanna make "win" key works in KDE 4. That is, press the "win" key, the KDE launch menu pops up.

Further more, if the KDE launch menu closes when I press the "win" key again, that's perfect.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

IMHO custoum keyboard shortcuts is somewhat broken in KDE4. The safest thing to do for now is to just use the defaults (Alt-F1). If you mess around with the keyboard shortcut settings (I did) you are more likely to end up with no working shortcuts rather than your prefered shortcut

Pitty. I found a link talking about this topic but I think it just works in KDE 3, does it?
