> I have set the keyboard layout to German NEO 2 [1] in the host and the client (both current karmic). 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 "-". It seems that the pressed caps lock is not passed to the client.
