Odd change in .xinitrc regarding xmodmap

[Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk>]

For years I've been using an .xinitrc file of this type:

---------------------------------
xset -b
xsetroot -solid lightslateblue
exec icewm-session
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
-------------------------------

In the last couple of days, following an upgrade on Sid, I found that
the last line was no longer being read by startx. I tried using an
.xsession file without effect. Eventually it turned out that I now need
to include the full path to xmodmap:

-------------------------------------
xset -b
xsetroot -solid lightslateblue
exec icewm-session
/usr/bin/xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
---------------------------------


Hardly worth calling a bug, I suppose, but it cost me about an hour's
work to track it down.
