I had similar issues. I think this first happened to me when I upgraded
HAL/evdev. Anyway, it turns out that all programs loaded before your
keyboard map is initialized will not see your new keyboard map.
The fix is simple. Just run setxkbmap / xmodmap / whatever you use
*before* any X clients (including fvwm) are loaded. For example, in my
~/.xinitrc:
which setxkbmap >& /dev/null && setxkbmap us
[[ -f ~/.xmodmaprc ]] && xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
...
exec fvwm
