Get in touch with X. The xserver does restart if the last xclient disconnts.
xmodmap is a xclient and after finishing it's work it disconnects and the
xserver resets (and dumps your changes). In multiwindow mode there is at least
the windowmanager client running and prevents the reset.
You can omit this behaviour by adding the -noreset option to XWin. This will
prevent the reset
