6.10 How come I can no longer disable the caps lock key with xmodmap?

A common activity in the past has been to disable the, shall we say,
"placement challenged" caps lock key on the ITF keyboard using a simple
xmodmap script.  This no longer works consistently at X11R5/VUE 3.0; the best
solution so far:

In file ~/.vue/sessions/lite/vue.session:

/usr/bin/X11/xmodmap - << EOF
        clear lock
        keycode 55 = Control_L
        keycode 86 = Caps_Lock
        keycode 39 = grave asciitilde guillemotleft guillemotright
        keycode 71 = Escape
        add Lock = Caps_Lock
        add Control = Control_L
EOF

This works until logout/login, when Caps Lock toggles the control feature,
even though 'xmodmap -pm' shows that Lock has no assignments. You have to
restart the server to reset completely, which can be automated by setting the
value

Vuelogin*terminateServer:   True

in the file /usr/vue/config/Xconfig.
