[1] This is the one that was installed using Sanaptic also or would have 
apt-get put it on the panel by itself?  At first it showed all 3 "lock" 
keys, but I only have a caps lock.  I had to reboot for another reason 
and when I restarted it reconfigured itself and only showed the caps 
lock key. Cool.
