Bugzilla Bug 79998

I've read that /etc/X11/Xmodmap is the right place to put system-wide xmodmap
settings.  (It's kinda ugly to make the mouse buttons work on a user-by-user
basis.)  But nothing reads this when KDE starts up, so I have to add a command
"xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap" in my ~/.kde/Autostart/.  I don't believe it works
to put the commands in ~/.Xmodmap either.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Put something you need in /etc/X11/Xmodmap, (e.g. pointer = 1 2 3 6 4 5)
2.  Start KDE


Actual Results:  
The settings haven't been used (e.g. the mouse buttons aren't right).

Expected Results:  
The settings should have been used.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Do you start the X server with 'startx', or with kdm/gdm?

I use KDM.

kdm has it's own method of starting the X server, which we don't customize.
I don't if it worth customizing it to read /etc/X11/Xmodmap, since by default
on Gentoo there's no default Xmodmap.

On the other side, you can make system-level customization by adding files to
/usr/kde/3.x/env/, that get sourced at startup.

I think that /usr/kde/3.x/env/ is the way to go, it gives the possibility to
customize at system level without modifying how kdm works...
