Run the following in a terminal window:

xset r 66

You can put this in your .xinitrc or .xsession in your homedir to run it automatically after you login (or check your distribution's documentation for instructions).

Fixed it. I learned something from this also.

I made the Caps Lock key do nothing but Caps Lock by writing xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Caps_Lock'.
Then I removed that by writing xmodmap -e 'remove Lock = Caps_Lock'.
Then I wrote xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = BackSpace' to set it to Backspace.
And then it would repeat perfectly.

I used this website to help me figure out the codes.

That's how you generally run commands at startup. If you ls .x* in your homedir you'll see all these otherwise "secret" system files. No idea how MinT does it though.

This is not the experience I had. Which version of Ubuntu are you using? If it's the new (not yet final) 9.04, then that's great news: they've finally fixed it.  If it's 8.10, then that is bizarre.  I had problems with Colemak Caps Lock on 8.10, just as people have issues with it on Linux Mint (Mint 6 is built from Ubuntu 8.10, so this makes sense)

I, however, need to do this, but I can never remember how to convince my computer that I am in fact its owner, and it must do as I say.  How do I edit the Xsession file while being able to save it when I'm done without it telling me that I'm not allowed to do that because I'm not the owner, the mutinous bastard computer?

Yeah, but what I was trying to think of was gksu gedit (path/file)
