I don't think so, but I did select "enable deadkeys"...

I tried playing with that.  Here's what's in XF86Config
        XkbOptions  "ctrl:nocaps"
        XkbKeycodes     "xfree86"
        XkbTypes        "default"
        XkbCompat       "default"
        XkbSymbols      "us(pc101)"
        XkbGeometry     "pc"
        XkbRules        "xfree86"
        XkbModel        "pc101"
        XkbLayout       "us"

and in XF86Config-4
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "keyboard"
        Option  "XkbOptions"    "ctrl:nocaps"
        Option  "XkbRules"      "xfree86"
        Option  "XkbModel"      "pc101"
        Option  "XkbLayout"     "us"

The strange thing is that the "ctrl:nocaps" option is supposed to disable
caps lock, but that not working either...

Everything works fine on the console, though, so it has to be some kind
of X config problem.
