I think the core issue here is that there is no mechanism by which the
user can easily know the state of the capslock. I think the following
solutions would rectify this:

- Notify the user via an Application Indicator that the capslock has either been enabled of disabled.
- Have an icon appear in the panel when the capclock has been enabled, in the same way that the key icon appears when root privileges have been given.

Also, since this is a feature request, I am invalidating this as a paper
cut.

** Summary changed:

- Notify user that shift-capslock changes capslock state when using it to switch keyboard layout
+ It's difficult for the user to know the current state of capslock, or if they've accidentally enabled it
