.Xmodmap is not read when logged in

[Uwe Brauer <oub@mat.ucm.es>]

Hello

I changed from suse to Debian, via Knoppix. To my surprise putting
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap in the .xinitrc or .xsession file had no effect
that is I have to execute this command every time I log in. However
when I put the line
xterm &
into my .xsession file, it works every time I log in a xterm terminal
is opened.



Is there any solution?


Thanks
