Bug#384104: gnome: making caps lock an additional ctrl give slightly different cntr-x cntr-c behavior in emacs

[Britton Leo Kerin]

Package: gnome
Severity: minor


Recent GNOME version crashed when you tried to make caps lock an
additional control (Desktop->prefereces->keyboard->layout
options->Ctrl key position).  It doesn't crash now, but it doesn't
really work absolutely as expected either.

I selected the "Make CapsLock an addiutional Ctrl." option, and now
when I try to exit emacs at high speed with C-x C-c, usually the C-c
seems to get lost.  If I bang the c and x keys a bit more slowly and
distinctly it always works.

If I use the actual Ctrl key marked as such on the keyboard, there is
no such problem.
