Public bug reported:
I have set the shortcut ctrl+esc for opening a new gnome-terminal. In
the following I will refer with the "lower key" to the capslock-key
itself and with "capslock" to the behavior, also the "upper key" is the
escape key itself, "esc" is its behavior.
I swapped the capslock-key and the esc-key, so that with the shortcut
remaining, so that I press ctrl+lower key to open a terminal. This works
for a while. However, after some time, gnome "forgets" that the keys are
swapped and ctrl+lower key doesn't translate into any action, while
ctrl+upper key opens the terminal and activates capslock at the same
time. For all other applications, the lower key keeps being used as esc,
and the upper as capslock, only the shortcut is broken. It can be
restored by setting in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts the
shortcut for opening the terminal to some other value and then back to
ctrl+lower key. However, after a while, gnome forgets it again.
