I have had this problem on both Hardy and now Intrepid.

I am trying to create a multiseat work station using Xephyr. I am using
1 PS2 keyboard and a number of USB keyboards.

The problem I am encountering is that all the caps lock LED's on each
keyboard change at the same time if caps lock is pressed on any of the
keyboards. The actually caps lock function itself however remains
separate for each session.

Ie

If user 1 presses capslock, user 2 and 3 both see there LED's light up
as well. However only user 1 will get capital letters when he types. If
then user 2 presses caps lock, all the LED's will go out and now both
user 1 and 2 will get capital letters.

As you can see the above is quite confusing.
