Steps to replicate (don't do this if you have anything important open,
you may have to restart X):
1) Open up gnome-mouse-properties
2) Check "Show position of mouse pointer when Control key is pressed
3) Open xkbwatch
4) Press "Scroll lock", "Num lock", and "Control" keys all at the same time
You'll notice that the light for the Control key stays on in xkbwatch.
You'll also notice that the system behaves as if your control key is
stuck down, even though it isn't. Then I press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to
exit X.
Hardware tested on:
IBM X61 laptop, using both internal keyboard and external USB keyboard
