Thanks for your bug. The tools is a desktop one and an user configuration tool, not a system one. The feature request might make sense for a new tool, it should be rather discussed upstream or on a list than on a bug tracker though, I'm marking it as Rejected, we are not likely to work on that feature any time soon

Changed in gnome-system-tools:
assignee: nobody → desktop-bugs
importance: Undecided → Wishlist
status: Unconfirmed → Rejected

In my Thinkpad laptop running Gutsy, the keyboard layout changes (swap capslock and ctrl keys) is changed under the ctrl-alt-F1 console, just as I would like it to be.

However, in Hardy it no longer works this way.
