I have problems changing the model. I did some tests and I can reproduce 
the issue. Here is the relevant part of xorg.conf (I don't use xmodmap 
anymore):

,----[ from xorg.conf ]
| Section "InputDevice"
|       Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
|       Driver          "kbd"
|       Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
|       Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
|       Option          "XkbLayout"     "ro"
| EndSection
`----

The steps to reproduce it:

rm -rf .config 

startxfce4

Xfce Menu -> Settings -> Keyboard: Layout tab and chose model (Thinkpad 
R61 for me)

result: special keys don't work

close Xfce

startxfce4

special keys still don't work

now in the keyboard settings I choose some other model and then again 
the Thinkpad R61

special keys work! but only until Xfce is restarted when the model dance 
needs to be performed again.

If I choose the corect model in xorg.conf it will be shown in keyboard 
settings after removing .config and will work correctly. I will be using 
this solution anyway, but I could do more tests if needed.

Regards,
Andrei
