Public bug reported:
I'm using a ~/.Xmodmap file to define two keycode mappings.
13.10 doesn't seem to automatically load this file any more.
13.04 did. (same file, same laptop)
manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" works on 13.10!
That means I'm e.g. able to use this key in a terminal or in geany.
I discovered, that by switching the keyboard layouts using "gnome-
control-center region layouts" the mappings of the "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap"
will be lost again. Then another manual execution of "xmodmap
~/.Xmodmap" has to be executed and it works again.
Perhaps the ~/.Xmodmap is loaded and lost by the the gnome-control-
center () later.
Sorry, I can't figure out which packet this bug has to be asigned to. By
using apport-bug "xorg" was choosen, but it could be "xorg-server" or
"gnome-control-center", also.
