I know I've come to this party too late, but just FYI, http:// 
bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102656 discussed this possibility  
(and eventually came to the same conclusion as this thread-- that you  
could do it by using Sticky Keys locking at the expense of an extra  
keystroke, and that otherwise, it just worked the same as Windows).

Cheeri,
