I'm using linux-speakup over here and I don't use g.u.i. stuff on Linux I
have to do that at work and shouldn't have to at home. The only way I
found to clear this state was to reboot the amd64 k8 athelon and that
cleared it. If I don't do that, I have to hit shift and hold shift down
for each lower case letter otherwise even if capslock is off and I am not
holding the shift key down, the only thing that comes out is uppercase
letters when I type letters and I first noticed this in another linux
application having nothing to do with emacs.
