I strongly recommed a gnome mouse gesture utilty called easystroke, you can combine your scripts, commands, keyboard shortcuts with your defined mouse gestures, it really makes Gnome desktop & window managment super easy and efficent. Further, you can also use easystroke to trigger some compiz effects.

Go to System>Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Layout>AltWin Key. There you will find several options for mapping other key functions to that key. What would you like the “Windows” to do?
