This bug was fixed in the package qemu-kvm - 0.13.0+noroms-0ubuntu8 --------------- qemu-kvm (0.13.0+noroms-0ubuntu8) natty; urgency=low
* Add caps-lock-key-up-event.patch to enable normal up/down events for Caps-Lock and Num-Lock keys by setting SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS (which requires SDL > 1.2.14). This fixes handling of capslock when capslock is mapped to something else in host system.

The caps lock is used as modifier (similar to shift) in NEO. When I press "caps lock" + "t", then the client prints a "t" instead of a "-". A caps lock key up event is sent to the client before I release the caps lock key.
