Where are the keys defined in X-windows?



I would like to change some X-windows keys,
especially the END and HOME keys which do not work at present.

I do not wish to run the executable xmodmap - I want to edit the data file.

I changed /etc/inputrc but that didn't work.

Do the changes go in xmodmap?  If so, which one?

In /etc/gdm/Sessions there is a file for _some_ window managers which seem
to call the xmodmap executable to map the keys.

However, the files for the window managers I have checked look for xmodmap (the data file)
in places it does not exist.

Specifically /etc/gdm/Sessions/KDE looks for
Xmodmap in both /etc/X11/Xmodmap and /$HOME/.Xmodmap
but it doesn't exist in either place.

Locate finds may  versions of xmodmap but I can't tell which one is being used.
