Bug#463682: x11-xserver-utils: xmodmap defalt preferences file is not loaded at startup
Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.3+2
Severity: normal
I always had a mapping for my custom keys in ~/.Xmodmap and every time I
started Xserver using startx or GDM or KDM all my customized keyboard keys
were working perfectly.
Few x11-server versions ago (I don't remember extracly which one) It stopped
working. I just read manual page for xmodmap (1) and it mentions file named
".xmodmaprc". I made a copy of my old .Xmodmap with new name (.xmodmaprc)
but after restarting Xserver nothing happend.
I know that manual doesn't say that it will load such configuration
automatically. Maybe some xinit-scripts should do this - so maybe this bug
should be reassigned to something else.
Anyway the point is: That it was working and now it doesn't.
