I agree that Esc is at the wrong spot.  I use the following
concoction (sp?) to achieve:

* esc is left to 1
* the key labeled Esc does Caps_Lock, for the rare cases when I need
  it
* two control keys on the left side
* right flag key does ` and ~ characters
* left and right meta keys, left hyper key

clear lock
clear control
keycode 115 = Hyper_L
keycode 64 = Meta_L
keycode 113 = Meta_R
keycode 116 = grave asciitilde
keycode 117 = Multi_key
!keycode 117 = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Control_L
keycode 37 = Control_L
keycode 9 = Caps_Lock
keycode 49 = Escape
add control = Control_L Control_R
add lock = Caps_Lock
clear mod1
clear mod2
clear mod4
add mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R
add mod2 = Hyper_L
add mod4 = Num_Lock

Save the above in a file foo and do "xmodmap foo".  Using a 104 or
105 key kbd with XF86.
