[Bug 658095] [NEW] CapsLock key events not passed to qemu-kvm

[Ed Swierk]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

In the Ubuntu 10.04 version of qemu-kvm, pressing CapsLock caused key
down/up events to be passed to the VM. In the Ubuntu 10.10 version,
CapsLock seems to be ignored completely.

This is pretty annoying as I always remap CapsLock to behave as an
additional Ctrl key (within the VM's OS), but now I have to use the real
Ctrl key.
