Comment 4 for bug 251247

Ok, after more searches and poking around I believe I have discovered what is wiping out the xmodmap. I went into "Regional & Language ==> Keyboard Layout" and then select the "Xkb Options" tab. I noticed a checkbox on that tab: "Enable xkb options". The checkbox was checked, but down below in the Xkb Options there were a whole slew of options to select but not a one of them was selected. So I unchecked the "Enable xkb options", logged out, logged back in, and voila! Now my xmodmap settings are back. I am fairly certain that I never went in and turned on the "Enable xkb options" box. This is especially annoying since no options were checked.

Since it seems that running setxkbmap will wipe out any xmodmap settings perhaps This should be run earlier, like in an earlier entry in Xsession.d?
