AFAIK Xfce4 uses Gtk3, and e.g. xfce4-terminal and thunar (file manager)
recognize my Super_L mapping to `/'. LibreOffice does too. The only
other program I use that ignores Super_L is Firefox, but it has since
long before this Emacs problem started (with your commit 15910e5d
according to git bisect); I've search the web about this Firefox issue
but haven't found anything.

The only uncommented lines im my .Xmodmap file are these:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Control = Control_L
keysym Super_L = slash
keysym Menu = backslash
Of these, Emacs fails to recognize only the Super_L mapping, since the
above-mentioned commit. (As an experiment I added `remove Super_L =
Mod4' before the Super_L = slash mapping, logged out and back in, but
the result was that none of the .Xmodmap mappings were recognized, not
just in Emacs but also e.g. in xfce4-terminal. So I removed that line
to restore the status quo ante.)
