I don't think we are talking about the same thing when we talk of XKB. To
clarify what I am talking about, I meant editing the files under
/usr/share/X11/xkb/

Title:
  .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
