If you force the load of the .Xmodmap by adding the command 'xmodmap
~/.Xmodmap' in the Startup Applications, all is reverted if you
suspend/resume or if you change the user and get back etc. So I managed
to adapt some snippets I found, using the python dbus interface to
reissue the command when resuming, changing the keyboard layout or
changing sessions. It can be saved as /usr/local/bin/user-xmodmap-
reload-hack (or other path/name) and then added to the Startup
Applications.

I didn't test it very much and I don't have much code experience, so you
are welcome to modify.

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.
