Re: [Bug 1243642] Re: .Xmodmap not automatically loaded on start
I concluded there are two solutions: swap to a different distro or to a
different method. I've resorted to the second, and am now tweaking with
xkb's infrastructure to arrive at the same remappings (caps becomes escape,
escape becomes caps, left alt becomes ctrl, left ctrl becomes alt). It is
more complicated, but more robust too.

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.
