I'm another of those re-using Caps Lock for something different. In
my case, I use double-shift (i.e. left-shift + right-shift) to switch
language, and caps lock for Compose (I ♥ compose: very handy :)

See, I'm an old guy: my fingers were trained on a mechanical typewriter,
and there caps-lock kind of made sense; since "shift" had to push the
whole type cluster around, it was hard to keep shift pushed with the
pinky while typing a couple of letters.

Since computer keyboards, I realised that I had no use for caps lock
(except for pushing it accidentaly while entering passwords, that
is ;-)
