/etc/X11/Xmodmap gets read by X when it starts up (effectively bypassing Gnome). However, if you mess with Gnome's keyboard properties you might reset/undo what this file might have. Just to set an example, here is my Xmodmap for all users: $> cat /etc/X11/Xmodmap ! /etc/X11/Xmodmap ! clear Mod4 ! Define keycodes for extra keys commonly found on PC keyboards ! ! Left Windows key !keycode 115=F13 !Right Windows key !keycode 116=F14 ! Application key !keycode 117=F15 ! lems keycode 0x73 = Super_L keycode 0x74 = Super_R keycode 0x75 = Multi_key And I have mandatory gconf keys so that all users' Super_L and Super_R keys open the Applications menu and Run Applications... dialog, respectively.
