I tried doing the "add" command with xmodmap (see below), and that didn't
work.
There are two comments on this:

1) the default xmodmap is identical between x86 and amd64 machines, yet the
amd64 is not working.  Doing xmodmap "add" does not help -- I even tried
restarting emacs

2) note that Ctrl_R + *Super_L* + ' works fine, but Ctrl_L + *Super_L* + '
does not.  It's the left Ctrl with left Super that's not functioning.

It's baffling.  Any other thoughts?
