You did me a huge favor by asking that question, thanks!  While poking
around in the keyboard settings applet I discovered a well-hidden option
to disable the Caps-Lock key.  I hit that stupid thing by accident at

The keyboard-shortcuts applet does have an option to change the screenshot
hotkey, so maybe something changed it behind your back?
