Bug Description

I remapped caps-lock to "mod4" using .Xmodmap. So I have an additional modifier key in favour of caps lock which I only activate by accident anyway.

This worked fine in KDE3 and even Gnome.

With KDE4 it stops working: The dialogs that are used to set up key-combos for actions still insist on the caps lock key being "caps lock". This is annoying since I can not use caps-lock as modifier anymore: I used to have my desktops on "mod4-Fx" (with x being the number of the desktop and mod4 actually being the caps-lock key).

The kde4 version of kdebase has gone back to being just "kdebase" in Intrepid.
