Open Gnome apps menu with Win key!

I just found out how to use the windows key to open the gnome classic applications menu. use
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L"

or
gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_R"

for the right windows key on some keyboards. :)

This also works with the command key on Apple keyboards. You will need to have this run at startup. Just create an .sh script and set it as a startup application. :)
