In response to #35.
- Install Ubuntu 13.10
- Go to keyboard layout settings
- Find 'CapsLock Key Behavior' and set to eg "Make CapsLock an additional ctrl" or "Make CapsLock an additional backspace".

The last point worked for years, up until Ubuntu 13.10. The option to set CapsLock key behaviour is no longer there, and there appears to be no replacement.

For users who set the CapsLock behaviour to something more useful to reduce RSI (to backspace in my case) this is a problem.
