Left control (which has been mapped to caps-lock by ctrl:swapcaps) and
left alt. This is a laptop. It has two controls and two alts. Right alt
works as compose. Left control suffers this problem, right control does
not (I hadn't tried until now). The problem as seen from xkbwatch with
unstable is:

1)
a. press left control -> 6th row turns on
b. press left alt -> nothing happens (6th row is still on)
c. release all keys

2)
a. press right control ->  6th row turns on
b. press left alt -> 5th row turns on (6th row is still on)
c. release all keys

3)
a. press left alt -> 5th row turns on
b. press left control ->  6th row turns on (5th row is still on)
c. release all keys

4)
a. press left alt -> 5th row turns on
b. press right control ->  6th row turns on (5th row is still on)
c. release all keys

The only difference is that in my old setup the "nothing happens" in
test 1 was a "5th row turns on." That is the method I always use to
activate C-A combinations.

I hope this makes things clear.

Thanks,
