How about an On Screen indicator for CapsLock/FnLock state?
 

Fairly often, I find myself writing with the hardware keys and I realise I have no idea whether I'm in lowercase, UPPERCASE, Titlecase, Function shift/fn lock is on

Is there a way to enable a small indicator somewhere to be maybe:

abc
Abc
ABC
fn (the blue keys)
FN

when I'm writing with the physical keys?

I agree !!!

It's probably one of the most feature needed actually.

Maybe a LED color for each one would be a good idea?

I agree that the missing indicator often causes problems. This bug/enhancement is listed in Bugzilla as:

Feel free to vote for it.

The led idea sounds like a great idea!

i agree with this, either with the LED, or in the bar at the top would be ideal!

FN lock led indicator:

Download this package and install it: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...+0m5_armel.deb
(source patch is in the same directory).

Download this module http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...leds-lp5523.ko and replace the one in /lib/modules/current (better keep the original). See here for source: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44267

reboot

After each reboot run as root the command:

chmod a+w /sys/class/leds/lp5523:a/brightness

Now the red led is fn lock indicator. It runs at low brightness when fn is sticky and brighter when it is locked.

its partially implemented already, but needs to be better
