Thanks. I tried removing the line that loads .Xmodmap from my .xinitrc
and replacing it with direct calls to xmodmap -e, but that didn't
help. Just like my method of loading .Xmodmap, the modifier map is
correct immediately after the calls to xmodmap -e, but once the window
manager is up and I have an xterm, the modifier map is wrong. It looks
like the keysym command survives, but something moves that second
Control_L back to the Lock modifer.
