Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

When selecting a key to change layouts gnome-keyboard-settings uses the term "Windows Key" instead of "Meta Key" or "Super_L" / "Super_R".

This key existed as "Meta" on sun systems before "windows key", as Windows is Legacy, this should be changed to something more suitable.
