Hi Sven,

I believe you come across a known bug. X's keysym->keycode converting
functions don't return all the keycodes a keysym is bound to; only the
first one.

For your purposes an easy workaround. Instead of binding your left
windows key to Super_R, just bind Super_L to 'readkey root' in
ratpoison:

definekey top Super_L readkey root

Make sure it isn't listed as a modifier (see xmodmap), however.
