Remapped Caps Lock key toggles Caps Lock light

Bug Description

I've remapped my Caps Lock key to be an extra Ctrl key, using Gnome's standard keyboard preferences interface ("Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl" under Layout Options).

When I would do so in Gutsy, the key would not toggle my Caps Lock light unless it was left mapped to Caps Lock. In Hardy, the light is toggled, regardless of what the key is remapped to. The on-and-off light is rather annoying when editing. :)

If it matters, I'm using a Fujitsu T2010.
