I believe the relevant file with the settings from the keyboard preferences control panel is:
$HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml Here's what it looks like on my freshly installed 8.04.01 system (where the caps lock -> control setting in the control panel is not effective after a restart): <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="options" mtime="1228022444" type="list" ltype="string"> <li type="string"> <stringvalue>ctrl ctrl:nocaps</stringvalue> </li> <li type="string"> <stringvalue>Compose key compose:rwin</stringvalue> </li> <li type="string"> <stringvalue>eurosign eurosign:5</stringvalue> </li> </entry> </gconf> Note the first <stringvalue> in the <entry name="options"> section. It looks OK to me (it's the same info as what the above workaround said I should put in /etc/X11/xorg.conf), so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. -- caps lock as additional control broken on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
