They are 'old layouts'.

They are new ones.

The thing is new layouts have three-four levels and need a modifier bit
for switching to those levels. But all real modifiers are already used:
Lock, Shift, Control - according their names, and unnamed ones (Mod1-Mod5)
are Alt, Meta, NumLock, ScrollLock and one for a Mode_Switch emulation for
compatibility with the core protocol.
Thus for the new ThirdLevel modifier I had to sacrifice one of them.
The ScrollLock modifier seems me most unused and now this bit is used as the
ThirdLevel modifier (of course the ScrollLock key still prodice a corresponded
keysym). But the ScrollLock indicator still configured to show state of
modifier bound to the ScrollLock keysym.
I think if complaints will come I'll make an option that maps the ScrollLock
virtual modifier to some real one. Otherwise we can use the indicator for
something else.
