I concluded there are two solutions: swap to a different distro or to a different method. I've resorted to the second, and am now tweaking with xkb's infrastructure to arrive at the same remappings (caps becomes escape, escape becomes caps, left alt becomes ctrl, left ctrl becomes alt). It is more complicated, but more robust too.

(same file, same laptop) manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" works on 13.10! That means I'm e.g. able to use this key in a terminal or in geany. I discovered, that by switching the keyboard layouts using "gnome- control-center region layouts" the mappings of the "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" will be lost again. Then another manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" has to be executed and it works again. Perhaps the ~/.Xmodmap is loaded and lost by the the gnome-control- center () later. Sorry, I can't figure out which packet this bug has to be asigned to. By using apport-bug "xorg" was choosen, but it could be "xorg-server" or "gnome-control-center", also.
