I'm also using Meta4(Window key)-bound actions.  My rc.xml has the
following sections:

<keybind key="W-KP_0">       <action name="DesktopPrevious"/> </keybind>
<keybind key="W-comma">      <action name="DesktopPrevious"/> </keybind>
<keybind key="W-KP_Decimal"> <action name="DesktopNext"/>     </keybind>
<keybind key="W-period">     <action name="DesktopNext"/>     </keybind>

[and]

<keybind key="W-K">          <action name="DirectionalFocusNorth"/>  </keybind>
<keybind key="W-H">          <action name="DirectionalFocusWest"/>   </keybind>
<keybind key="W-semicolon">  <action name="NextWindow"/>             </keybind>
<keybind key="W-KP_6">       <action name="DirectionalFocusEast"/>   </keybind>
<keybind key="W-KP_2">       <action name="DirectionalFocusSouth"/>  </keybind>

I don't have your problem, so if you can try these in your rc.xml and
tell us if this works for you, that would narrow the possible
problems.

Another thought:  are you still holding the Windows key?  My dialogs
don't disappear until I've released _all_ keys, which is a feature.
