Bug#821364: gnome-shell: .Xmodmap not read on startup

[Stephen Crowley]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.18.1-1
Severity: important

It is a complete and total travesty that this vital functionality has
been missing since at least a year. No, adding it to the startup
programs is not acceptable.. .xinitrc doesnt even work either
