Apparently it's done with a secondary icon, and our Glade reads:

          <property name="secondary_icon_activatable">False</property>


Perhaps it's related?

I don't think we have anything Tails specific that does so.
But e.g GNOME Disks or other GNOME apps are using some version of GTK,
and at least the former likely has a caps lock warning.
