Bug Description

Using Ubuntu Gnome 14.04, my .Xmodmap is correctly read at startup (at least, it seems).
I have a very simple .Xmodmap:

    ! EuroSign is on AltGr-5, eacute is mucho more useful for Spanish
    keycode 26 = e E e E eacute Eacute

However, on layout switch, the modification is forgot.

Shouldn't .Xmodmap re-read on keyboard layout switch? Alternatively, is there a hook for running scripts on the keyboard layout switch?
