Normally, the caps-lock key is mapped to the 'lock' modifier on
your X server. It seems that for some reason this is not the
case on your machine. The modifier 2 should be normally mapped to
num-lock, not caps-lock. You can check which modifiers are bound
to which key by issuing
$ xmodmap
on the command line. You can either fix this or just use the
IgnoreModifiers command. To get the bindings right, the commands
$ xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
$ xmodmap -e "clear Mod2"
$ xmodmap -e "add Lock = Caps_Lock"
$ xmodmap -e "add Mod2 = Num_Lock"
should do (but that depends on how your xmodmap looks). For a
more detailed description, please check Q 5.5 in the fvwm FAQ and
the xmodmap man page.
