Those two work for me. Can you check that key events shown with X's
xev utility match entries wmx's Config.h file?

For example, my Config.h file includes the lines:
#define CONFIG_USE_KEYBOARD   	       (DynamicConfig::config.useKeyboard())
#define CONFIG_ALT_KEY		       XK_Super_L
#define CONFIG_WANT_KEYBOARD_MENU      True
#define CONFIG_CLIENT_MENU_KEY	       XK_Menu

When I use xev, pressing my keyboard's left Windows key and the menu
key prints out entries containing and "keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb,
Super_L)" and "keycode 117 (keysym 0xff67, Menu)" respectively.
Pressing that key combination shows wmx's menu.
