Public bug reported:

I want to swap theses two keys: Caps_Lock and Control_L, my configuration file as follows:
~/.profile:
if [ -f "$HOME/.xmodmaprc" ]; then
xmodmap  ~/.xmodmaprc
fi

~/.xmodmaprc : 
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

The same configuration, On Ubuntu12.04, it worked  properly. After the
upgrade, it works abnormally, after a few minutes, the key mappings will
be rest, I have to run 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc'  again and again.

I also use a virtual machine, and  the key mapping  changes can't map to
the guest system, but ubuntu12.04 don't have this problem.

I am sure my configuration file “.xmodmaprc“  had not been “called” by
other softs or system repeatedly.
