Bug Description

Hi
Cairo-dock "Keyboard Indicator" plugin should print out CAPS Lock and NumLck values but it never worked on my Laptop (Sony VGN-FW21E)
See below cairo-dock debug when I activate or disable one of the both keys:
-------------
debug : (applet-xklavier.c:cd_xkbd_keyboard_state_changed:79)
cd_xkbd_keyboard_state_changed (window:75497788)
debug : (applet-xklavier.c:cd_xkbd_keyboard_state_changed:97)
group : 0 -> 0 ; indic : 0 -> 0
-------------

Cairo-dock developers says this is a libxklavier issue
I'm now running Ubuntu Karmic 64, libxklavier15 version 4.0-0ubuntu5 and cairo-dock from ppa:cairo-dock-team/weekly

Thanks

I can add that on my PC (tower), the group and indicator have correct values for CAPS lock and NUM lock, except on startup.
the problem seems more frequent with laptops.

the group and indic are simply got by using xkl_engine_get_state().
the debug (group : 0 -> 0 ; indic : 0 -> 0) shows the previous values and the current one after an XKLAVIER_STATE event came from X, we can see that they are identical.

up on this bug.
Moreover an user has got some weird numbers using xkl_engine_get_state() : the fields "group" and "indicator" had values like 948053481.
Thanks to pay attention to these bugs in libxklavier.
