Smile How to use extra keys in GNU/Linux

Happ Newyear to All!,
I got a logitech 104 Keyboard which has got two keys without any function assigned.these are 'super or windows logo keys' between ALT and CTRL.Now, i am running Debian GNU/Linux Sarge and Running GNOME v2.8.3.Will it be possible to Display the Applications menu by pressing the super key.Someone will point to the steps for doing this...
i ran a command xev for the values of super key heres the o/p:
Code:
cosmic:~# xev
.................
KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1400001,
    root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 1042934, (233,465), root:(239,536),
    state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
