I am using Archlinux. When I program , I like to swap the Escape and Caps Lock.

I know that gnome can do this job. But Gnome 3.6.2 in the Archlinux can not find this.

So i use the xmodmap and create a file : ~/.xmodmap

  clear Lock
  keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
  keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
  add Lock = Caps_Lock

when i run:

  xmodmap ~/.xmodmap

it works well.

But it can not work automatic when i login the gnome, even though i add xmodmap ~/.xmodmap to ~/.xprofile.

Am I doing something wrong ? How can I solve this issue?
