Why not bind <Ctl> to caps-lock instead of swapping them - have <Ctl> on both keys? Except for the rare people who actually use caps-lock.
That's exactly what I always do, and is easily done in both Mac OS X and in most Linux distributions.
In GNOME 2.24: "Keyboard Preferences" > "Layouts" > "Layout Options" > "Ctrl key position" > "Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl" OR "Swap Ctrl and CapsLock"
You can use the same utility to swap Esc and CapsLock.
Broke my xmonad. :-(
Because this frees up the ctrl key to be an extra backspace!
