Bug#245460: Buggnome-keyboard-properties breaks my keyboard configuration

[Andrea Vettorello]

Today i was playing with xmodmap and Gnome to try to swap the right
Ctrl key with the right windos key, as in the current position the
Ctrl key is really far for my pinky.

I'm using Gnome (2.14) and i was looking for a way to execute the
.xmodmap file on login time or a way to add an item to the "Layout
Options" of the "Keyboard Preferences" capplet. On the
gnome-control-center sources there are a couple of gconf entries used
by gnome-settings-daemon related to the keyboard:

/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/known_file_list
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/update_handlers

I've filed them both with ".xmodmap" using the gconf-editor in my user
session and now on login my modifications to the keymap are applied.

I wasn't aware of this feature until now and don't know if this is
deprecated or still useable, probably i should ask info upstream about
it...
