I agree. That's what it should be, but in my experience it's not. I mean, there is no control but when something fails.

Exactly. They all will
eventually be looked at. But most scripts are no controlled untill they "affect" your job situation, don't you think?
Of course there are places where everithing is taken into account, and must fulfil a bunch of rules and requirements. I think that's a matter of money.

XkbLockModifiers(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbLockModifiers(3)
NAME
XkbLockModifiers - Locks and unlocks any of the eight real keyboard modifiers
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbLockModifiers ( display, device_spec, affect, values )
Display *display;
unsigned int device_spec;
unsigned int affect;
unsigned int values;
ARGUMENTS
display
connection to the X server
device_spec
device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd
affect mask of real modifiers whose lock state is to change
values 1 => lock, 0 => unlock; only for modifiers selected by affect
DESCRIPTION
XkbLockModifiers sends a request to the server to lock the real modifiers selected by both affect and values and to unlock the real modi-
fiers selected by affect, but not selected by values. XkbLockModifiers does not wait for a reply from the server. It returns True if the
request was sent, and False otherwise.
The functions in this section that change the use of modifiers use a mask in the parameter affect. It is a bitwise inclusive OR of the
legal modifier masks:

affect and values and to unlock the real modifiers selected by affect, but not selected by values.
