There's a nice little Python application called "key-status" (the site where I found it[1] is down ATM, so if anyone wants to experiment I can send the tarball or put it up somewhere) which plugs into the evdev Linux device node and polls for keyboard/mouse events. It wouldn't take much to modify it for only listening to special keys like caps (meta, compose, windows, etc); also, a panel applet/notification area icon could be coded in very little time starting from that code base.
