No, that is not really easy to do.

Kwin and Mutter apparently work correctly with GTK, but as I found out
earlier, the real problem lies in libxkbcommon, which is not working the
way XKB is supposed to, thus confusing GTK.

XKB_MOD_NAME_LOGO is not supposed to exist.  Instead, there should be
XKB_MOD_NAME_SUPER, defined to "Super".

Unfortunately, the libxkbcommon API is already set in stone, so the
easiest fix on the GTK side would be this:
