At least on my system, ~/.Xmodmap gets read, no problem. Of course,
there is the possibility that Slackware has a modified xinitrc for
Xfce.

If you check your xinitrc, and you have these lines
# load local modmap
test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

and they are prior to loading the session manager, then you should
check your .xsession-errors to see if there are Xmodmap errors.
