In working on the loader, my image appeared to go crazy. I was picking up things by halos when I had not intended to do so, the menus didn't look right; it was a mess. I wondered whether my new laptop had a busted/stuck control or alt key, and then noticed that the cap lock was on. Is there any reason the menus get weird when the cap lock is set? It seems like a nice way to drive off new users unless I'm missing the big picture somewhere.
Caps lock is a modifier under X11, just like alt, ctrl, shift, meta and hyper. There was a change in the unix VM on 2009-08-26 which might fix this: * vm-display-X11/sqUnixX11.c (x2sqModifier): Do not map Caps Lock to shift modifier.
