Bug#1126010: gnome-shell: Gnome capslock inversion

Hi,

I'm having this bug too due to the use of ibus, and have been very
annoyed by it for a long time.

 From a quick look at the patch, it seems not trivially backportable as
the commit fixing it in mutter is after they have introduced 
clutter_keymap_get_modifier_state(), trixie has separate 
clutter_keymap_get_caps_lock_state() and
clutter_keymap_get_num_lock_state() functions.

Using clutter_keymap_get_modifier_state() in turn seems to require a
dependency on libxkbcommon which probably is considered too intrusive 
for a stable update.

So, best changes would be if upstream backports it to a 48.x point 
release of mutter.

Regards,
Daniel
