Hi,
I'm having a strange issue with keyboard remapping under GNOME (I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.1). I'd like to swap CapsLock and Ctrl keys, because I'm an Emacs user, and I just don't want to get my arm broken using a Thinkpad keyboard.
I've created a custom ~/.xmodmap file, but whereas it works under Fluxbox, Openbox, FVWM and Xfce, it doesn't work under GNOME. So I tried tuning some GNOME keyboard settings, and I found that there is an option for CapsLock/Ctrl swapping, I've enabled it, restarted X windows, and it still doesn't work.
Ideas anyone?
