oh, maybe a confusion between the real caps-lock and the layout switcher
functions.
thanks for the details !
I'm not really sure if it's libxklavier or cairo-dock's fault.
the best now would be to run the dock with "ddd cairo-dock", reproduce the
crash, and see where it stops. but I think it requires to compile the
sources of the dock.
if you think you can do that, that would be very helpful :-)
