Binary package hint: gnome-session
Gnome (I believe the gnome-session component) will detect the presence
of ~/.xmodmap, and, if it is the first time that file is detected, offer
to load the file and to load it automatically in the future. In Gutsy,
the dialog box to load the .xmodmap file appears briefly, and then all
of the GTK widgets revert back to the gray/square default GTK theme for
a moment or two and then the dialog disappears before the user has a
chance to load the file (and the widgets go back to the correct theme).
By removing
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/%gconf.xml I can get
the xmodmap dialog to reappear on my next Gnome login, but I still
cannot get the dialog to appear long enough to load the file.
I think the Gnome component responsible to loading this is gnome-
session, but I'm not sure about this. Right now I'm at gnome-session
2.19.90-0ubuntu2
