When I was looking into modmap I have seen this advice so tried it.
 First had no .xsession in my home directory so created one and
 added:
xmodmap ~/.xmodmap 
to it, but it didn't do anything.(considering there was no
 .xsession file in the first place I don't think this file is read
 anyway). I had a look in all of my . file and couldn't find one
 that would be read by X.
