In my Gnome Control Center, I've added .xmodmap to the startup scripts.
~ I presume there is an equivalent within KDE.

Would someone more knowledgeable comment about adding this file to
/etc/init.d/ and running update-rc.d?  I'm wondering about this in order
to allow all users to access these keys.
