I have a problem in UbuntuGNOME 13.10 which I didn't had in prior
releases: I did a clean install and I don't know if it was already there
or if I may have changed something, but my "Control L" and "Caps Lock"
keys are swapped. How to swap them back? See also the attached image.

I swapped them back using the following, but this is obviously not a proper fix:



$ cd ~
$ echo "keycode 66 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L" >> .Xmodmap
$ xmodmap .Xmodmap


but the "Keyboard Layout Chart" program shows the keys still swapped. What's the reason for this? How to fix?

It doesn't look like the Keyboard Layout Options dialog is going to come back. You can swap the caps-lock and control keys in gnome-tweak-tool, under "Typing."
