I have been having difficulties with the modifier keys in TeXmacs.  I am 
using an old IBM keyboard which doesn't have a windows key (to remap to 
the "A-" modifier), so I tried mapping the caps lock key to the "A-" 
modifier (edit -> preferences -> keyboard -> Caps Lock Key -> map to A 
modifier), and it seemed to work the first time.  (everything else in 
the keyboard preferences is set to its default setting)

Like emacs (what I am used to), the Alt key is "M-" and the Ctrl key is 
"C-", and at first Caps Lock was "A-".  Now when I restart TeXmacs, Caps 
Lock and the Alt keys are the same thing; each time I restart it they 
seem to switch back & forth between "A-" and "M-"

This is bizarre.  For example, pressing Alt - Shift - 4 sometimes does 
spell check and other times inserts an equation (same with Caps Lock - 
Shift - 4).  I have restarted the Xserver several times.  This goes on 
until I switch the Caps Lock modifier back to "do not remap".  Is this a 
problem between Fedora Core 2, Xfce and how TeXmacs remaps the keys?

Confused,
