Ok, so I guess this behaviour has been changed in >=wine-0.9.59.

I would like to, but I'm a bit lost now. What exactly is X sending incorrectly
and what should it send instead? It actually wouldn't help in my case, since
caps_lock is just a trigger?

in X.

I remember you can change keyboard scan code mapping by editing the registry
(search terms "caps_lock control registry"), and tried this but could not get
it to work in wine. I guess this is not yet implemented, should I file a
separate bug asking for enhancement?

Thanks for your explanation, it helped me solve another problem I had with
Caps_Lock and imwheel in firefox but did not notice before. I've configured
Caps_Lock to keep it's keysym but act as a control modifier, because this works
and I believe that's the clearest way to deal with this.
