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-
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.

It's worse than that. Several apps are not mapping their menus to the menubar, and several are not inheriting the Ubuntu desktop theme. Examples include most prominantly firefox and chromium.
