Subject: CAPS LOCK key

I've been looking at why it's necessary to press the CAPS LOCK key twice
to get it to work properly in xbeeb.

Turns out that X treats the key as a toggle, rather than a button, so
the first press and release generates a KeyPress event then the next
press and release generates a KeyRelease event.

It seems that the Beeb still wants the key to be treated as a normal
button, where a press generates a KeyPress event and a release generates
a KeyRelease event.

I'm not yet sure how to fake this behaviour reliably.  I imagine that
I won't be the only person to come across this problem...

James.
