[dev] Mod Key problem

I have installed the latest wmii and then removed the older
~/.wmii-3.5  directory.  I copied the new rc.wmii to ~/.wmii-hg/
directory and then changed the Mod key to Mod4. 90% of the times when
I start wmii it does not  respond to the Mod4 key. If I change the key
back to Alt (Mod1) , it works fine, no problems then.

Earlier version was working fine with Mod4. Here is the xmodmap and
rc.wmii of mine. Can anyone tell what is wrong:

[arnuld_AT_dune ~]$ wmiir ls /
wmiir: fatal: can't mount: Connection refused

[arnuld_AT_dune ~]$ wmiir cat /keys
wmiir: fatal: can't mount: Connection refused

[arnuld_AT_dune ~]$ xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4        Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
