I have tested metacity 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4.1 and while the s key now works correctly (no longer opens the Applications menu), the Super (Windows) key no longer works. For example, Windows+Tab no longer switches between application windows.

I uninstalled the trusty proposed metacity, libmetacity-private0a + metacity-common, and reinstalled the current 1:2.34.13-0ubuntu4 versions to verify that the Windows key actually did work before the proposed patch.

Some may say that the Super key not working is a much smaller problem than the s key always opening the Applications menu.
I'd be OK with not being able to use the Super key but maybe others would consider this a serious regression.
I'll leave it to others more qualified to decide if this should be flagged as verification-done or verification-failed.

My testing was done using Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection to connect to a Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine running xrdp.
The Ubuntu machine is a client vm of a VMware vSphere host.
