[closed] Win key replayed when focus changes from windows (client) to ubuntu (server)

I'm running the synergy server (version 1.3.6) on an Ubuntu 11.10 host and the client (version 1.3.8) on a Windows 7 host.

Whenever I use the [Win] key on the windows client, they key is somehow "replayed" on my Ubuntu server the moment the mouse focus returns to the host (which triggers the dash home). This happens even if there is a long delay between the keypress and the focus change, or if other keys were entered before the focus change.

The opposite does not happen - when I use the [Win] key on the ubuntu server it is not replayed when I shift the focus to the Windows client.

Any ideas why this is happening? Can I stop this from happening?

Updates:

This appears to be a problem with Ubuntu Unity. Details in this SuperUser post.
