Bug Description
I've mapped the Caps Lock key to be an additional Ctrl from Gnome's Keyboard control panel. It works; however, when I press Caps Lock, the Caps Lock LED on my computer still changes state.
This is on Hardy Alpha 1; I believe this problem did not occur on Gutsy.
I am using a Thinkpad X61s.

Similar situation: I have exchanged left Control with Caps Lock, and now
* left Control changes the real caps lock state (ie, whether or not letters are capitals)
* but Caps Lock changes the led state on the keyboard (though it works as a Control key)
I've noticed that since Hardy, Compiz displays at startup some information regarding the keyboard leds. So I suspect there's the flaw, though I have no idea what business Compiz has with the keyboard.
