Bug#443473: modifying [Caps Lock] via xmodmap is broken



Package: xserver-xorg-input-kbd
Version: 1:1.2.2-3

I have a file .xmodmap saying

	remove Lock  = Caps_Lock
	keycode 0x42 = Return

to switch off the caps lock functionality, and to
convert the [Caps Lock] key into a [Return] key. It
is loaded using

	xmodmap .xmodmap

in my .xinitrc file. This worked fine for years up to
Xorg 1.2, but with Xorg 1.3 it stopped working: It
still toggles between lower and upper case characters,
_in addition_ to the expected "Return key functionality".
The Caps Lock led stays off.


Would you mind to check? This is a _highly_ annoying
bug, since I got used to the left [Return] key.


Many thanx

Harri
