As I had a similar issue recently, but with dwm:

Which keycode does xev print when you press the Windows key? If it's
not 127 (=0x7f) try something like this:

xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Super_L"

where 115 is the keycode xev prints.

However, this might be a problem of wmii, so this is just a guess.

HTH,
