[Launchpad Bug Tracker <380781@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.  I suspect that the problem is in the gnome-
control-center package version 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu3, however, it might
actually be in the gnome-settings-daemon package version
2.26.1-0ubuntu1.

I want to set the Caps Lock key as an additional ESC key.  However, when
I attempt this setting, it results in the ESC functionality being moved
from the ESC key to the Caps Lock key (making the ESC key useless).
This is not the expected behavior.

How to reproduce:
System ->  Preferences -> Keyboard  (gnome-keyboard-properties)
  Layouts (tab) -> Layout Options (button) -> CapsLock key behavior (list collapse arrow thingy) -> Make CapsLock and additional ESC (radio button)

When I follow this procedure, the ESC key no longer functions, but Caps
Lock works as ESC.

** Affects: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed

gnome-keyboard-properties won't map caps lock as additional ESC
