Comment 147 for bug 1245473

After Vasa's comment, I made some exploration of the scroll lock issue and in both cases (patched X or unpatched X) the behavior is exactly the same.

The led can be used to indicate the alternative layout (from gnome's settings) and it works as advertised: it switches on/off as long as the layout changes.

Even if the above functionality is disabled, still the Scroll Lock key makes no difference in gnome. I suspect that scroll lock mode never gets enabled.
I tested it in virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and it works like Ctrl+S (pause any console output), while in gnome (tested in xterm and gnome-terminal) the scroll lock key does absolutely nothing.

Daniel, is there anything else needed for the patch to get accepted in the official branch?

Thanks a lot.
