KDE3 keybindings - Meta key doesn't combine with other keys

Hey,
I finally mapped out a meta (win) key on my netbook, which came with a home key instead of win. I'm trying to assign keyboard shortcuts in KDE3's kcontrol, except that I can't seem to map Meta with another key. I'm trying to assign, for instance, Meta+T to open Konsole. When I open the input dialog, it sees the 'Win' keypress and displays it, but then when I press T, the 'Win' disappears and I'm left with just 'T', instead of the 'Win+T' that I wanted. None of the other modifier keys have the same problem.

Does anybody know what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

So this happens any application that I try to edit the keybinding to. Win won't associate with any other keybindings. If I add Win+Shift+F (for firefox) as a shortcut, only Shift+F will occur at the end.
