Bug#444025: xinit: xmodmap no longer run at startup

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

Package: xinit
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: important

I have had this line in .xinitrc for months or years and it has always
worked: "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap"

For the last couple of weeks it has stopped working; there is no error
message but the file is not read. I can still run it manually for each
xterm but that is not really very useful.

I tried adding the same line to ~/.bashrc and this worked, but it also
had the effect of inactivating ssh and ping between computers on my
network because bash was trying to run xmodmap in a console and failing.
