Hi...
I have a .Xmodmap file in my home folder which swaps control and caps lock keys....but this file doesnt seem to get executed during gnome startup....But the same seems to work in kde....Any ideas why????And how to do i enable it in gnome......Actually i have got my .Xmodmap working in gnome too...but using a shell script.....I have put that script in gnome-session-properties which executes the commands during startup.....But I want gnome to do it automatically without any scripts...
I searched this forum......I found many stuff related to xmodmap ....but this question was not addressed anywhere....I am sorry if this question is reduntant and has been answered some where else.....

I have suffered from this problem, too. But I solved that like this.
At first, go to /usr/share/xmodmap. then you can see a lot of xmodmap files. I selected xmodmap.kr but you can choose any file you want. After changing the file, try gkb_xmmap kr[it depends on the file you chose ] maybe it'll work. Then run gnome-session-properties and add this to start-up.
I hope it will help you. This Information is came from KLDP(http://bbs.kldp.org)
