I used to use my windows key SUPER_L in im-ja-conf to switch input modes, but now I no longer get the SUPER_L key in the im-ja-conf UI. I tried xev with either windows or the menu key and I get
Code:

KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xd4, subw 0x0, time 2791974, (-140,77), root:(573,589),
    state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0xd4, subw 0x0, time 2792189, (-140,77), root:(573,589),
    state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

    root 0xd4, subw 0x0, time 2794917, (-140,77), root:(573,589),
    state 0x0, keycode 117 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

They no longer have a symbol.

My keymaps.conf looks like this
Code:

# /etc/conf.d/keymaps
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/keymaps,v 1.1.4.1 2005/02/19 02:13:53 vapier Exp $

# Use KEYMAP to specify the default console keymap.  There is a complete tree
# of keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps to choose from.

KEYMAP="us"


# Should we first load the 'windowkeys' console keymap?  Most x86 users will
# say "yes" here.  Note that non-x86 users should leave it as "no".

SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"


# The maps to load for extended keyboards.  Most users will leave this as is.

EXTENDED_KEYMAPS=""
#EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="backspace keypad euro"


# Tell dumpkeys(1) to interpret character action codes to be
# from the specified character set.
# This only matters if you set UNICODE="yes" in /etc/rc.conf.
# For a list of valid sets, run `dumpkeys --help`

DUMPKEYS_CHARSET=""


and the relevant portion of my xorg.conf is
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier   "Keyboard1"
    Driver       "kbd"
    Option      "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
    #Option      "XkbDisable" "1"

    Option "XkbModel"   "microsoft"
    Option "XkbLayout"   "us"
EndSection


Anyone have any ideas? I just switched to a completely unicode system, but other than this I haven't noticed any problems

I had the same problem and found this post that solved the problem: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2449502.html?sid=24d269eef27e8691e3c070ec5a839c11#2449502

In short - I used dispatch-conf to update my config files after a recompile of Xorg and its zeroed my xkbcomp file. Deleting the zeroed file and reemerging Xorg fixed it up.
