As people have repeatedly pointed out, freerdp seems to ignore the
configured X11 key map while rdesktop obeyed it.  That means that my
mapping of caps-lock => ctrl doesn't work now that I've had to switch
from rdesktop to xfreerdp.

I've seen people ask how to fix this problem several times, and the
only answer I've ever seen is this one from 2010:

Except there doesn't seem to be any such path.  So how does one fix
the key mapping used by xfreerdp?
