"solved". Ugly, but works. Via a .desktop in ~/.config/autostart. The trick was to not run xmodmap immediately, but to delay it: sleep 2; xmodmap /home/user/...
For the record: ~/.config/autostart/xmodmap.desktop: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=xmodmap Exec=/home/user/.config/xmodmap.sh X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true ~/.config/xmodmap.sh: sleep 2; xmodmap /home/user/.config/xmodmap ~/.config/xmodmap: remove Lock = Caps_Lock keycode 9 = Caps_Lock keycode 66 = Escape add Lock = Caps_Lock Also added to /etc/skel/ of the templates for future vms and dispvms.
