At least, the issue of the scroll lock light not lighting up is still an
issue.

I can't seem to find an application that changes behavior depending on
whether scroll lock is toggled (with or without the mod3 addition).
Tested xterm, firefox, openoffice... all seem to scroll just fine.

To be honest I'm a little unclear as to what the underlying problem here
is (numerous different people have commented on this bug but I'm not
sure everyone's problems were the same).

1.  The issue that the scroll lock key is lit up sometimes that Derek
mention appears to be solved separately now according to his comment on
#393285

2.  Being able to map something to activate when scroll lock is hit (as
in comment #1 and #8) seems to already work, despite the led not
toggling.  But I'm not certain the user would want the led to toggle in
such a case anyway?

3.  For KVMs that toggle when Scroll Lock is tapped, I have such a KVM
myself, attached to two Lucid boxes, and in fact I do use Scroll Lock to
do the toggling, and it works ok for me.  Could issues related to this
be a hardware or kernel issue rather than xkeyboard-config?

Anyway, given all the uncertainties I think what I want to do is close
out this bug report, as it's old and rambly, and ask those of you who
still have Scroll Lock related issues to please file new bug reports
(use 'ubuntu-bug xorg' so your report includes your key configuration,
dmesg, and so on) and please provide a detailed account of the issue you
see (describe your specific use case, hardware, and expectation).  It
may be that there is kernel breakage underlying your issue, or maybe
there's a better way to achieve your ends, or if nothing else it will
make it easier for us to forward the bug report upstream.  Thanks ahead
of time!
