I looked at the original Debian Bug, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317010 The libsdl1.2 package in Ubuntu is no longer carrying that patch, debian/patches/005_lock_keys.diff. So I don't think that's quite the cause of this. As for reproducing the bug, eventually, I was able to get my host and guest caps-lock keys out of sync, if I went back and forth, between guest and host, toggling caps-lock. What's the desired behavior here? I don't have much of an opinion (other than that the caps-lock key is a waste of valuable keyboard real estate, that I never actually use on purpose, only ever hitting it accidentally and causing problems :-) :-Dustin
