There is some logic for that in the vnc server, next time you press a
letter key it should get synced up.  capslock+numlock can actually
easier go out of sync than the other modifiers, you don't need a
reconnect to trigger that:  Activate some other window so the vnc client
window so it hasn't the keyboard focus, press capslock or numlock, move
focus back to the vnc window.

HTH,
