Well, more than ten days later.. :-) I found time to look at this again and thought I'd try to find a way to avoid having to start freevo manually at boot time. I vaguely remembered an Xconfig trick I had read about in the past that let you swap the two keys, and eventually found it again via google. I added the following to my xorg.conf in the keyboard section and that did the trick: Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps" A minimal change, and one thing I like about this "solution" is that if I remember correctly, debian saves a backup copy of xorg.conf whenever you upgrade X. Naturally, this only works because this is my home machine and I can change the X server's config file without asking anyone's permission. And of course, there's no guarantee that this keyboard option will not be deprecated at some point in the future. So maybe this should be part of freevo's keyboard configuration..?
