I saw this behaviour when I stopped using gdm, and went to use startx
instead.
In Debian, accessing ~/.Xmodmap (as well as ~/.Xresources; use
~/.Xdefaults instead) seems to be part of login managers.
So instead of starting e.g. fluxbox like this:
startx /usr/bin/fluxbox
I prefer to start it like this:
startx /usr/local/fluxbox-session
In /usr/local/fluxbox-session I have put a couple of things to start X
with, 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' among them:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/unclutter -idle 2 &
/usr/bin/xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
... etc. ...
/usr/bin/fluxbox
