In other words, after I press Caps_Lock, vncviewer only sees cap'd
letters, right? Because Win95 and not vnc is processing the
caps-lock? I guess there's no way around this, because if I press
caps-lock inside of vncviewer, and it's not remapped, it's supposed to
make everything outside of vncviewer cap-lock'd, too.

Anyone know if it's possible?
