Have you actually tried it (or them for that matter) out yourself?
I was able to bring my beloved lctrl to the left of "a" successfully
with the kbdcontrol(1) though, when I place the damn clock elsewhere,
the entire keyboard goes insane.
The xmodmap(1) had _no_ effect on Caps_Lock either. I do know how to
use the command, I used to play with it while using a Sun.
Has anyone out there managed to relocate the damn clock to somewhere
hamless? Your working experiences appreciated. Thanks.
