Swapping caps lock and escape in Xubuntu causes the super key to become caps lock. This is because "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/autostart/xcape-super-binding.desktop" runs "xcape -e 'Super_L=Control_L|Escape'" on startup, which binds super to LCtrl+Escape on release which is bound to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu in xfce4-keyboard-settings. Changing the xcape command in xcape-super-binding.desktop to something not involving escape like "xcape -e 'Super_L=Shift_L|Control_L|Alt_L|Super_L'" and then changing the whiskermenu bind in keyboard settings to Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Super L fixes the issue.
This fix can be applied with these two patch files, applying the first to "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/autostart/xcape-super-binding.desktop" and the second to "~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml"
