I.e. ~/.xsession, probably. 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. Alex.
