Description Lionel Elie Mamane 2008-10-30 23:23:39 UTC

With these settings for XKB:

	Option		"XkbRules"	"xorg"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc104"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"pl,us"
	Option		"XkbVariant"	""
	Option		"XkbOptions"	"compose:caps"

The "compose:caps" option does not work properly: The Caps Lock key
both switches caps lock and serves as compose instead of only compose
key.

The same happens with any secondary layout that includes 'us', such as
'ro'.

The attached patch fixes the problem, and does not break caps lock in
a pure us layout (no variant, no options).
