           Summary: xmodmap setup is missing (general startup is wrong?)
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kde-core
        AssignedTo: jriddell at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: viktor.nagy at gmail.com
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


KDE at startup should load the ~/xmodmap (some sources say ~/.Xmodmap) file.
This does not happen. Without this "feature" it is impossible to redefine the
special keys (the Win/Tux key for example) to use them as F13, F14, etc.

As a workaround some sites say that scripts put in ~/.kde/env should have run at
KDE startup. So I wrote a simple script to run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap at startup,
but it is not run neither.

A possible solution was to put this script to ~/.kde/Autostart

The real solution would be to run the .xmodmap file automatically. (As under GNOME.)

Bug #20915 is one manifestation of this bug.
