keyboard problems

Hi,


I use Suse 8.1, KDE 3.1. in an offiice environment.
The girls working with the system (Kword, Gnumeric, etc.) are
complaining that the shift-key does not work as it should.
(that is to say, unlike windoze they used before)
Now, via xkeycaps etc. I tried to adapt it, but i cannot find how to
do this:

Press key-lock : Only capitals when writing normal.
Press again : Back to normal writing
Press (and keep pressed) the shift key: Capitals
Same in caps-lock mode: normal letters.
All this is OK
Now however:

Press shift key in caps-lock (capitals) mode does not RESET it. It only
allowes you to write lower-type as long as you keep it pressed. It should,
however, reset the caps-lock mode (as does the caps lock-key).

Could anybody give me a tip how to do this?
Maybe a mapping in the .Xmodmap file ?

Thanks in advance,
Steven
