Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4-session
After upgrading to Xubuntu feisty, my $HOME/.Xmodmap does not work anymore, ie. it does not take effect.
After some searching I found the place that should read the .Xmodmap in Xubuntu, which is /etc/xdg/
Adding some strategically placed debug statements ("xmodmap -pke > /tmp/xmodmap-
Running xmodmap by hand works as expected.
Conclusion: either xfce4-session directly or something called by xfce4-session resets the xmodmap to defaults.
Steps to reproduce:
- create a ~/.Xmodmap:
----[ cut here ]--------------
keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch
keycode 0x3A = m M mu
----[ cut here ]--------------
Run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" and press AltGr + m... the µ character should appear.
Log out and back in. Press AltGr + m again. Instead of the µ character, a simple m appears.
is this on feisty? if so when did you notice the breakage?
