UPDATE: Woo hoo! I finally got it apart, well most of the way anyway. Those caps were just decorative. I just removed the set screw and kept moving the stem up and down until it came off (there are actually 2 set screws on each handle). The leak is a little worse now. When I shut off the water, it drips, drips, drips constantly.
I just don't know what to do next. I know unscrew the top screw but what happens after that I have no idea. I hope this is a cartridge where I can just remove it and get the part. I hope it's not where I'd have to replace o-rings or springs because I would really be lost. I"ve been watching the video that Nealnw posted. Now I know to use a razor blade to get rid of the schmootz (love that word).
Here's a pic (sorry, looks like it's upside down. It was right side up on my computer):
