It's not reported in the xmodmap man page, anyway as long as xmodmap is shipped with xorg I don't thin this behaviour is acceptable... >> configuration; I got my media keys back, but application shortcuts were >> ignored. > > I guess modifier keys have changed and this invalidates shortcuts. > Especially things like Alt/Meta.
