I'm not sure why you say that - xev detects CTRL and SHIFT independently.

Will XKB2 address this issue? I've looked for information on XKB2 on the web and there is very little information to be found except that it aims to handle input-methods better and that it won't bee in the next X.org release (after missing the last three as well).

So this is another area where I would appreciate some feed back from developers - if XKB2 realistic for X.org 1.9, then maybe I should help out with that. Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong with fixing XKB1 for 1.9 even if only for this release.
