I am using this line to disable normal CapsLock behavior. It just refuses to work without sleep command in front of it.

exec_always --no-startup-id "sleep 1; setxkbmap -option caps:none"

i tried putting this line in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc with same results, my system ignoring it while loading.

Maybe there is proper way to do this?

EDIT: @Adaephon right, it is problem with gnome-settings-daemon, i can not close this question

Is it possible that the keyboard is modified by another automatically started command? Another call to `setxkbmap`, `gnome-settings-daemon` or something similar?

@Adaephon thanks, it is indeed `gnome-settings-daemon`, used it for screenshots only. You got some serious psychic powers.

It should be possible to disable CapsLock from within the Gnome settings. It *could* be possible to disencourage `gnome-settings-daemon` from changing anything keyboard related. Maybe disabling CapsLock directly in the Xorg configuration would work.
