I was experiencing a similar problem. Showed up that when using setxkbmap to change keyboard layout, all xmodmap settings were removed. As I use xbindkeys to launch setxkbmap, I just added "; xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc" after setxkbmap. > Maybe the gnome-settings-daemon (which is also exexuted in my .xinitrc) > owerwrites this?
