If you find out how, you could use one of the rarely used keys (ie:
right control key) and map this key to the windows key in the vmware guest.
This should allow you to simulate the key you need.

I have created a ticket for you:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/1152
And I have committed some code already that should help us achieve what
is required.
Please subscribe to it so you can see progress and verify that it works
for you.
