The short story is: Tom's keyboard sends all that when he presses caps lock: press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66 repeat: 0x3a release: 0xba 0xe0 0xe6 0xe0 0x66 happens to be the "favorites" key on his keyboard with internet navigation keys. I thus believe there's a bug in his keyboard that needs to be filtered at the kernel level.

Here's xev from Stable. It looks like in Testing that some of the extra key codes that show up in showkey are getting interpreted as additional key presses in Testing's xorg but not Stable's.
Yes, as I said in a previous mail, squeeze Xorg now interprets the internet scancodes by default, while it wouldn't in lenny and previous, thus not showing the bug. Samuel
