Guess what ? This .Xmodmap also isn't executed at session startup.

So in fact the problem is that both .xinitrc and .Xmodmap (and godzilla knows what other files are NOT executed at session startup). I wonder : could something be corrupted in my system ?

I don't believe that .Xmodmap has any effect unless the xmodmap program is called -- and the call to xmodmap normally resides in ~/.xinitrc. So if ~/.xinitrc isn't being executed, it's unsurprising that ~/.Xmodmap has no effect. Paul Abrahams
