It would be nice to know what OS and what distribution of it you have. 
For example, I have FreeBSD 7.0 and when using "startx" I put the 
following in my ~.xinitrc:

#!/bin/sh
xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 116 = Mode_switch"
xmodmap -e "keycode 26 = e E Eurosign"
xmodmap -e "keycode 27 = r R registered"
xmodmap -e "keycode 29 = y Y yen"
xmodmap -e "keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis"
xmodmap -e "keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis"
xmodmap -e "keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis"
xmodmap -e "keycode 39 = s S ssharp"
xmodmap -e "keycode 46 = l L sterling"
xmodmap -e "keycode 54 = c C cent copyright"
exec startxfce4

If starting X with a login-screen Iput the above lines in ~.xsession.

HTH
