[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]

Subject: 24.3; When CapsLock is on, Emacs regards Ctrl-letter as shifted
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:38:33 +0200

When CapsLock is on, Emacs regards Ctrl+letter as shifted: for instance,
C-h k gives for Ctrl+A:

C-a (translated from C-S-a) runs the command move-beginning-of-line,

The effect is that with the letters a, b, e, f, n, p, the region
will be changed.

The "xev" command says

KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
    root 0x1ee, subw 0x0, time 155699382, (90,75), root:(190,975),
    state 0x6, keycode 38 (keysym 0x41, A), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (01) ""
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (01) ""
    XFilterEvent returns: False

for Ctrl+A with CapsLock, and

KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x3e00001,
    root 0x1ee, subw 0x0, time 155704062, (90,75), root:(190,975),
    state 0x5, keycode 38 (keysym 0x41, A), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (01) ""
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (01) ""
    XFilterEvent returns: False

for Ctrl+Shift+A (without CapLock).

Note that Firefox doesn't have this problem: for instance, Ctrl-P is Print
whether CapsLock is on or not, and Ctrl-Shift-P is New Private Window.
So, this doesn't appear to be a keyboard configuration problem.

No further comments, so I pushed this to the master branch, and I'm
