I am actually using the default Xsession file provided by debian, so I am a little wary of modifying it. And modifying all "autostart" files of every dm/wm doesn't look very good... (though that is what I am doing currently - calling xmodmap from .fvwm/config). Also, I linked .xmodmap to .Xmodmap, but it didn't help.
