Windows Key in Linux is general referred to as "Super" Key.

I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

I like his "Circle" on the key, perhaps representing "Open Source", "Open Minded" or just jail broke from the windows confinement.

I think I mentioned to Dan that he needs to sell these in the UK, that is, if he can get his hand on more "kits" smile
