[Bug 373260] Re: ~/.Xmodmap gets loaded only by gdm (and not by kdm or startx)

 

** Summary changed:

- ~/.Xmodmap does not get loaded
+ ~/.Xmodmap gets loaded only by gdm (and not by kdm or startx)

** Description changed:

- ~/.Xmodmap does not get loaded on Kubuntu 9.04. When manually executing
- 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' the key mappings get loaded properly.
+ ~/.Xmodmap is loaded by gdm only, and not if you start X any other way
+ (by kdm or startx for example).
+ 
+ For a good example please see Fedora, where a single shell script which
+ loads .Xmodmap, .Xkbmap, .Xresources, etc., which is utilized by all
+ display managers and xinit.
