And really, what's the big deal.  If you want you Control key next to 
the 'A' key, remap it.  I do this in my Xserver on my personal 
systems, and I keep an xmodmap shell script in my homedir called 
swap-caps for any shared environment I'm in.  Works on all X-based 
systems.  I run it once to move the caps lock key out of the way, 
then run it again to put it back before I leave :)
