Desative a tecla SUPER durante aplicativos em tela cheia

Existe uma maneira de desligar a tecla SUPER durante as sessões de jogos ou aplicativos em tela cheia em geral?

Introdução

O script a seguir desabilita a Supertecla se alguma janela do X11 estiver no modo de tela cheia. Ele deve ser adicionado como um aplicativo de inicialização, mas também pode ser executado em modo independente.

Uso

Para executar o script manualmente, basta:

python disable_super_key.py

Para fazer com que o script seja iniciado automaticamente no login, consulte Como inicio os aplicativos automaticamente no login?

Obtendo o código-fonte do script

Pode-se copiar a fonte do script desta resposta ou obtê-la através da clonagem do meu repositório GitHub .

Instruções para quem tem git:

1. cd /opt
2. sudo git clone https://github.com/SergKolo/sergrep.git
3. chmod -R +x sergrep

O script estará localizado em /opt/sergrep/disable_super_key.py

Depuração

Caso seja necessário depurar, altere a linha 32 de debug = Falsepara debug = Truee execute o script na linha de comando
