Bug Description
slangasek found that with a ~/.Xmodmap file present (from hardy), his hotkeys stopped working. The suspicion is the move to evdev changed the mapping of the hotkeys. See bug 267682 for reference.
It would probably make sense to add mention of this in the release notes.
Bugs 251247 and 263631 may be worth reviewing; I'm not sure they're dupes but they also describe recent problems with .Xmodmap.
