    If I knew I'd tell you. I'm a developer, not a system administrator. That's why people are voting to move your question to superuser.com . Dec 8, 2009 at 6:52

It so happens I'm running Ubuntu, which is a Debian derivative.

System | Preferences | Keyboard shortcuts

at least on my system already has a (disabled) entry for starting up a terminal. All you have to do is set a key to do this for you.

The Windows key is a bit strange, I'm not sure you can map it successfully but it's worth a try.
