I think the core issue here is that there is no mechanism by which the
user can easily know the state of the capslock. I think the following
solutions would rectify this:
- Notify the user via an Application Indicator that the capslock has either
been enabled of disabled.
- Have an icon appear in the panel when the capclock has been enabled, in the
same way that the key icon appears when root privileges have been given.
Also, since this is a feature request, I am invalidating this as a paper
cut.

they've accidentally enabled it
