Package: xserver-xephyr
I'm using the script given below to start Xephyr from gdm, with the
intention of creating a `multi-seat' environment.
After using the caps lock key a few times, I get stuck in caps mode and
pressing caps lock again fails to take it off. The problem is easily
reproducible and is discussed in various forums online.
Using ALT-F1 to switch to a text console, I find my keyboard working normally.
If I switch back to the Xephyr session (ALT-F7), I am back in caps mode. So
far, I can only get my keyboard to work again by restarting Xephyr.
When in the caps lock mode, the shift key works for typing lowercase letters.
If I login on my :0 display (without going through Xephyr), everything works
fine, no caps lock problems.
This is my Xephyr command line:
# ps ax | grep Xephyr
