[hardy] Setting CapsLock to be the compose key still causes the capslock key to trigger the capslock LED

[Michael R. Head]

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

Settings CapsLock to be a compose key used to entirely disable the capslock functionality, including disabling the activation of the LED. Under hardy, using this same setting, the capslock feature is disabled, but pressing the capslock key does trigger the capslock LED to toggle on and off. This is confusing because typing when the CapsLock LED is lit puts lowercase characters on the screen.

The only layout setting I have off-default is the "compose key location", which I have set to CapsLock.

What I expect to see is that the capslock would only trigger composition (for characters like æ, ü, ß ...), would not cause uppercase characters ever to be automatically be entered, and would leave the CapsLock LED alone.

The same happens as well if CapsLock is made an additional Ctrl key within the "Keyboard Layout Options" window.

Looks to me like a dupe of #173350

Sure, it is. I'll mark it so.
