The patch doesn't fake capslock, so we're save regarding that.

If it's not mapped, XKeysymToKeycode() in xitk.c returns keycode zero 
which doesn't exist and does no harm. If it's disabled, nothing happens. 
If it's mapped to control, we would be lost if we had faked it.

Anyway, one could always remap his keyboard to his favour, but should 
not expect everything to work.

Cheers,

Hans-Dieter
