Bug Description

This is a very minor bug, but when the "Ctrl key position" under "Keyboard Layout Options" (under the "Keyboard" option of "System Settings") is modified, the "Show position of pointer when the Control key is pressed" option under "Mouse and Touchpad" seems to use the physical Ctrl keys instead of the re-mapped ones.

So, for instance, when I select "Make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl", the Caps Lock key does not show the position of the cursor when pressed.

Info:
1) Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2) gnome-control-center:
  Installed: 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.2.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.2.0-0ubuntu6 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

3) Expected to happen: "Show position of pointer..." should honor modified Ctrl key configurations
4) What happened instead: Alternate Ctrl key configurations are ignored
