| As far as I'm concerned this is only a minor irritant -- Caps Lock is
| pointless anyway in these days of OPERATING SYSTEMS THAT DON'T REQUIRE
| YOU TO SHOUT -- but I wondered if anyone else had noticed this bug-ette
| and/or had a fix for it?

It doesn't show up here, running MIT X11.  

In terms of shouting, if you use MODULA-3, encrusted as it is with
upper case keywords, caps-lock is about the only alternative (and a
poor one at that) to a context sensitive editor like emacs.
