Yes, uControl seems to the best solution to this so far.
Unfortunately, it seems to get turned off sometimes and I have to punch
the Caps Lock key about 3-4 times to get it working as Control again.
I, for one, would be very interested in an alternate keyboard layout
for laptops. This could have been a real possibility with keyboards
such as the 15" TiBook which simply pop right out and could be easily
replaced with a "Unix" style keyboard, if one were available.
Unfortunately, from what I've heard the 17" keyboard is not so easily
removed and if the new 15" systems have a backlit keyboard also they
probably won't be easily popped out either.
Too bad.

Have you tried running xmodmap from an xterm, to just make sure that

If so, then you may need to run `xev' to find out which keycodes are
being sent, then modify the .Xmodmap to correspond to those keys.
The problem is that all Powerbook keyboards are ADB keyboards, which
have caps
lock in firmware. So you can't just hack it with xmodmap - you'll
get a
locking control key. uControl gets around this with cleverness that I
haven't looked into - probably tracking events it gets from the
keyboard.
Oh, for the day when Apple starts using a different keyboard
controller in
their powerbooks. :'}
