I'm not sure why you think it doesn't work. I'm one of those people, 
increasingly rare, who grew up on a Sun keyboard, and I simply must have 
my capslock and ctrl keys switched on a pc keyboard. I generated a file 
for use by xmodmap using xkeycaps and then I added 

518 > cat swapcaps.sh 
#! /bin/bash
xmodmap .xmodmap-saturn.syslang.net

to my ~/.kde/Autostart

Works great.
