Hey all,

Gnome offers a way to startup applications for a user "System" >
"Startup Applications". I have been using that for about a decade to
remap the keyboard, exchanging the "Caps Lock" and "Backspace" keys. In
Lucid, this does not work during 'auto-login' at startup, but if I log
out and then log back in, it works correctly. It seems the new rapid
starting strategy does not take this case into consideration.

For info, the startup script is:
eratosthenes:~> cat ConfigFiles/keyset.sh 
xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = BackSpace"
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = Caps_Lock"
xmodmap -e "add Lock = Caps_Lock"

As I understand, this is probably not how the new X needs to be
manipulated but it has been working and works if I logout then login so
it seems mostly an issue in the ordering of scripts which affect X.

cheers,
adrian
