/etc/X11/Xmodmap gets read by X when it starts up (effectively bypassing
Gnome).
However, if you mess with Gnome's keyboard properties you might
reset/undo what this file might have. Just to set an example, here is my
Xmodmap for all users:
$> cat /etc/X11/Xmodmap
! /etc/X11/Xmodmap
!
clear Mod4
! Define keycodes for extra keys commonly found on PC keyboards
!
! Left Windows key
!keycode 115=F13
!Right Windows key
!keycode 116=F14
! Application key
!keycode 117=F15
! lems
keycode 0x73 = Super_L
keycode 0x74 = Super_R
keycode 0x75 = Multi_key
And I have mandatory gconf keys so that all users' Super_L and Super_R
keys open the Applications menu and Run Applications... dialog,
respectively.
Cheers.
