I use

  Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

and have related problems. When I want to type a keybinding like C-M-a (C = Control, M = Meta (Alt)) and type it by first pressing Control, then Alt and then "a" it's translated to C-a. The Alt is blocked when I hit Control first. xev shows this order of events:

  KP-C, KP-a, KR-a, KP-M, KR-M, KR-C

where KP stands for KeyPress and KR for KeyRelease. If I comment out the Option line from above in my xorg.conf, all works fine.

If I type C-M-a by first pressing Alt, then Control and then "a" it works, too.
