My xmodmap is run from ~/.xsession (note: not .xsessions) and works fine.
There is a file /etc/X11/Xmodmap that Debian supplies. I suppose that's
the official place to put it.

/etc/X11/Xmodmap takes actual xmodmap parameters (keycode=xxx, etc). In
~/.xsession, I actually execute the xmodmap program with my own file of
parameters:

xmodmap /home/rickm/.Xmodmap
