Can someone suggest how to fix this properly? I'm happy spend the time
understanding some code and sending a patch.

My reproduction:
- my ~/.xprofile has the following line which turns caps into a Control_L key: 
`xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`[1]
- I have a bluetooth keyboard for my 14.04LTS ubuntu machine
- when I walk away from the machine, I turn off my keyboard (to preserve 
battery/charge)
- when I come back and unlock my screen, my config is reset (ignoring my 
previous `xmodmap` calls)

Also, wow(!), the 7th anniversary of this bug is coming up :)
