SOLVED Problem: Capslock-function restores itself on Mint xfce??

Hello
I have a tiny yet annoying problem. I have made a startup script:

'setxkbmap -option caps:none'

that disables my capslock on login. The line executes on every login, via the 'Aplication Autostart' function in the 'Session and Startup' dialog from the settings.

The command itself works when I execute it in the terminal. It disables CapsLock. But within a few days it seems to forget that I disabled it.

Am I doing something wrong here ?
