Bug#443044: x11-xserver-utils: xmodmap run at X startup no longer takes effect

Strange thing is, running xmodmap from a terminal after X has started still works. This could be due to a server reset which happens whenever the last client disconnects. A server reset is usually noticeable due to the server re-programming the video mode. You can avoid resets by starting the Xserver with the -noreset command line option or by keeping a client running in the background. Unfortunately, neither of these workarounds yield any results. I can clearly see the video switching going away, but my xmodmap settings still don't take effect.

Mine seems to work fine, I will try to reproduce the problem with your .xsession here. Also, please check the output of xmodmap -pke after starting X so that we are sure that the xmodmap changes were not applied at all (and not just applied to the keymap but not used by the server for some obscur reason).
