    If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

I've installed, and have been using lubuntu 10.04 (with LXDE) for the desktop. As, the problem exhibits itself exactly as in comment #1, then I submit that it, actually has not been fixed, it still persists, and it remains an issue.

Not being able to swap Ctrl, and CapsLock IS ---> Painful. Please refer to the attached.

Cheers
