I'm wondering if these patches address any of these Bugs
13539 - XKB map setting is bonged
16105 - initial group width n >= 2 results in broken map
16145 - Simulated Caps lock key press via XTestFakeKeyEvent does not toggle the LED indicator
16364 - Behavior of xmodmap differs when invoked before any key has been pressed
or asked differently: Is there some background to these changes,
e.g. bugreports. Which ones?
Best regards,
Stefan
