> Is there a good Linux app for disabling the Caps Lock key?

If you want to do it by hand, you can add one of these options to your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

ctrl:nocaps        makes Capslock an additional control key
caps:
caps:shift          capslock acts as another shift key.

You have to add these options to the Option "XkbOptions" list like this:
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin ctrl:nocaps" (compose is another
different option).

There used to be a gnome app for this precise purpose in the
preferences in gnome 2.6, but they've yanked it out. Pity, it was so
useful...

A full list of options is included in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
