atm bugs.kde.org is down for maintaince-reasons. The keyboardLeds plasmoid is 
located in playground/base/plasma/applets/keyboardLeds and you are able to 
download and compile it via;

1. checkout the sources
svn co 
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/keyboardLeds

2, go into the directory, compile and install. $KDEDIR should point to the 
directory where your KDE4 is installed. So, e.g. /opt/kde4 or /usr 
or /usr/local.
cd keyboardLeds/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR .
make
make install

3. restart plasma and choose from "Add Widgets" the "Keyboard Leds". The 
plasmoid works fine, I just did test it, and does provide hints for numlock, 
capslock and scrollock.
If it fullfit the requirment, please also close the bugreport #165402 
(probably also attach there the info I did provide here, so others are able 
to find the answer easier). If it does not fullfit the requirment, then 
please add details what is missing since not everyone does know the 
KDE3 "show keyboard status" panel applet.

Thanks in advance too and I hope that helped.
