Sorry, I was wrong. This is a Kubuntu only bug.

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
I've installed, and have been using lubuntu 10.04 (with LXDE) for the
desktop. As, the problem exhibits itself exactly as in comment #1, then
I submit that it, actually has not been fixed, it still persists, and it
remains an issue.
Not being able to swap Ctrl, and CapsLock IS ---> Painful. Please refer
to the attached.
