Hi,

It looks like gnome-settings-daemon still overrides this. 

It does however support loading settings from a .Xmodmap file. This is
configurable when gnome-settings-daemon is started (if said file exists)
and via 
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/known_file_list and
/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/general/update_handlers

There's also an upstream bug about options for restricting the settings
touched by the daemon; http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316063

Would any of these resolve your problem?
