Bug#479784: xmodmap in .xsession breaks keyboard layout
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: normal
After the last upgrade, my keyboard layout got broken. For example,
RightAlt+O produces superscript-3 instead of o-with-acute.
$ grep -B1 -A5 Keyboard /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
EndSection
$ cat .xsession
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xmodmap "$HOME/etc/x11/xmodmap"
exec /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
$ cat ~/etc/x11/xmodmap
keycode 233 = Next_Virtual_Screen
keycode 234 = Prev_Virtual_Screen
keycode 222 = Terminate_Server
keycode 231 = XF86Refresh
keycode 178 = XF86HomePage
keycode 229 = XF86Search
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Caps_Lock
If I comment out xmodmap invocation, everything goes fine.
