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.
