I'm seeing the same behaviour after an upgrade from Precise to Trusty, and it is disheartening to see that the bug was reported during an upgrade between intermediate versions with very little traction. I've added logic to my shell rc script to run xmodmap when I log in, but this does not address the case where I resume, so I still need to manually run xmodmap somewhat regularly.

(same file, same laptop) manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" works on 13.10! That means I'm e.g. able to use this key in a terminal or in geany. I discovered, that by switching the keyboard layouts using "gnome- control-center region layouts" the mappings of the "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" will be lost again. Then another manual execution of "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" has to be executed and it works again. Perhaps the ~/.Xmodmap is loaded and lost by the the gnome-control- center () later. Sorry, I can't figure out which packet this bug has to be asigned to. By using apport-bug "xorg" was choosen, but it could be "xorg-server" or "gnome-control-center", also.
