Strange doings whith super key

[winuser]

Running : GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2009-11-10 on vernadsky, modified by Ubuntu
Via Ubuntu 9.10 
I'm a heavy user of keyboard shortcuts to access my files.
The SUPER key ( left logo ) works fine with all keybindings except for SUPER
+ m and SUPER + n.
( global-set-key (kbd "s-n")        'go-myinfo )             ; mesmods.el
2010-02-01
does NOT works but 
( global-set-key (kbd "s-o")        'go-myinfo )             ; mesmods.el
2010-02-01
DOES work.
What does happen is that all emacs display colors change and my file is not
displayed. It looks like a new theme has been applied.
Also these bindings act as a toggle colors are restored on the second
keypress.

Nice ;-)

Might be your window manager is stealing these key combos? I nad to
wrangle the left logo key from my window manager. Emacs sees it as
"Super" (as in your case) and pressing this key plus n gives "s-n is
undefined" (this is a fairly recent Emacs -- GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1
(i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.12) -- so I would expect that key
combo to be undefined on yours as well).

Anyway: what happens if you first type CTRL-h k, then SUPER-n
(CTRL-h k is "describe key"). If the same "strange things" happen, I'd
venture it's not Emacs's deed. Emacs would describe the bindings it has
for this key.

emacs is not the culprit. I've upgraded to the newest version provided by
Ubuntu : GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2009-11-10 on vernadsky, modified by Debian
and the same problem rears up.
I will try my luck on the Ubuntu forum.
thanks for the fast reply.
