So close! Sadly it doesn't seem to recognize the difference between
tapping the Super key on its own and holding down the Super key and
pressing another key.

For example I have W-Left/Right/Up/Down bound to window changing
actions. If I also bind Super_L to launch gnome-pie (or alternatively to
show the openbox root menu), then when I do W-Left for example it
launches gnome-pie as well as changing to the window to the left.

So I'm back to W-Space to launch gnome-pie :(
