I tried swapping the left Control key and Caps Lock key by modifying

Could you also point us to the instructions you've used as well, please?

Note: I was mistaken in thinking that _that_ page said that the
/etc/default/keyboard setting would take effect for both the virtual
consoles and X.
However, I read (somewhere else) that in Squeeze one could fix both the
virtual consoles and X with one setting.
(Also, the fact that /etc/default/keyboard uses the name "XKB..." and
uses the X configuration format suggests that the file might also be
read by X startup scripts.)
Hey, I just noticed that if I use startx ("startx -- :1") to start X (and
Gnome, etc), the Control key gets swapped;.
It's in the X session started (or use?) by GDM that the Control key
doesn't get swapped.
Does that help identify the problem?
