Bug#415025: xserver-xephyr: caps lock does not work correctly in Xephyr
Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.1.1-20
Severity: normal
Hi,
When using Xephyr, the Caps Lock key does "lock" the shift, but does
not unlock it when pressing for the second time.
This happens in both the testing and unstable versions.
I tried to reproduce it by using no window manager instead of
fluxbox, but just running xterm on that display does exhibit the same
behavior.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install xserver-xephyr
2. Adding
-- cut here
*
localhost CHOOSER BROADCAST
-- cut here
to /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
3. Commenting out the last line in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
4. Restart XDM.
5. Start Xephyr by:
Xephyr -query localhost :1
6. Log in, and press Caps Lock twice. Now Caps Lock remains on within
that Xephyr-session.
Alternative for 5, 6:
5. Start Xephyr by:
Xephyr :1
6. Start an xterm by:
xterm -display :1
7. Press Caps Lock twice. Now Caps Lock remains on within the
Xephyr-session.
On a computer on a friend of mine with the same configuration, the
same behavior happens.
