The problem is not so much that ~/.Xmodmap is not read when X starts (I
could work around that I guess), but that the mappings I have set up
with xmodmap are vanishing while I'm using my notebook.

So something resets my mappings on a more or less regular basis (I'll
probably set up a cronjob with xmodmap -pke to find out some timing
here) without me ever telling my system to do so.
