Added few more ccs. Yes, I see that too, in kernels such as debian
2.6.32. It may be even older than that, but I was not using docking
heavily in the old days.

Symptoms for me are that pretty often capslock LED will start show
opposite of true capslock state. I normally use X these days.

(Other problem seems to be that keyboard LEDs are not updated on
keyboard hotplug.)

There is patch to drive keyboard LEDs through LED subsystem, perhaps
that would be good idea?
