I always configure my window managers to use the Windows key (i.e. Mod4) rather than Control or Alt (i.e. Meta). This prevents conflicts with the applications that are being managed by the window manager--since ordinary applications, like Firefox, don't use the Windows key. Note, I was told by one of the Fluxbox developers that I need to add the following line xmodmap -e 'add Mod4 = Super_L' to my .xinitrc file if I want the Windows key to be well-behaved, but I don't understand the reason why.
