Re-checking the patch I believe its already doing the correct thing.

The do_key_event method is broken into 2 halfs. In the first half, the
keysyms are sent to either the guest OS, or the monitor. In the second
half the shift/caps/ctrl/alt state is being tracked. So the code I added
for tracking shift/caps does not interfere with the earlier code which
actually sends the key press to the guest OS.

Regards,
Dan.
