Description Jesse 2016-03-05 22:22:51 UTC 
When using the Colemak layout, the capslock key is supposed to become a backspace key.  The key does work as backspace, but also retains its capslock function.  The end result is both a backspace, and also now capslock has been toggled.  This was tested on a thinkpad t410.

When setting the layout with the command "setxkbmap us -variant colemak" the capslock key works as expected.  It is only when setting the layout within kde that the error occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure Desktop -> Input devices -> Layout
2. Enable Colemak US variant layout
3. Press the capslock key

Actual Results:  
Backspace and capslock are activated

Expected Results:  
Only backspace should activate
