	You have at least four options:

	You can disable the XKB extension of X so that it uses the
same keyboard map as the console does.

	You can use Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps" in
/etc/X11/XF86Config or something the like.

	You can use an ~/.xmodmap file, probably created with
xkeycaps.

	You can use the Gnome 2.6 Control Panel.

	I would prefer the first, but as I never got around
configuring my console as I wish I ended up with the second.  I think
the fourth sucks, and I use the third too for both user-specific – as
opposed to system-wide – configurations and for fancy AltGr
characters.
