Title:
  control/capslock key swap lost and (almost) no way to recover it

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Probably not an xorg problem, but anyway, after today's dist-upgrade,
  my very long standing swap of the control and caps lock keys on my
  standard Ubuntu desktop got lost.  Now capslock actually is capslock
  and ctrl is actually ctrl, despite a my previous settings swapping
  them.  Unfortunately, it seems like the ability to swap them back has
  been lost in System Settings, or gnome-control-center{,.real}.

  I will have to resort to xmodmap for now, but please restore the
  ability to swap these two keys and to honor previous such settings.
