Hello,

The bottom of your xinitrc is only executed when you haven't got
xfce4-session installed, and you _log out_ of your session.

Put the line above where xfce4-session is started, instead.

In any case, I have already the following line in my default xinitrc:

test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

Was perhaps added after 4.4?
