remap it with xmodmap
create a file .xmodmap
then xmodmap like this

xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmap

/home/user/.xmodmap
remove Lock = Caps_Lock



you can run it from your .bashrc or .xsession

Thank you David, I knew it was something simple, and xmodmap just slipped my mind.

I assume that you could map the M$ keys with this also??

Is it possible to map those keys to launch a prog from Gnome?
