On my Debian for Raspberry Pi, the win key pops open the desktop's main menu. This blocks all other keyboard input, so I constantly trip over it. How can I disable the menu behavior using setxkbmap so that no key ever opens the desktop menu?

It would be ok to just completely disable the win key, since I only use the Pi over VNC for simple things.

This turns out to be easier with xev and xmodmap, which together can identify the key code and then change the behavior directly (without any layers of abstraction):

xmodmap -e "keycode 133 ="

Now the land mine is defused and I can work without explosions on my desktop.
