In RedHat releases up to 9 (and may be FC1) you used to stick those
commands into ~/.Xmodmap, which was read by /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession. Alas,
in FC2 this file doesn't exist anymore, the X session is setup somehow
differently.

However, /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default loads /etc/X11/Xmodmap, so you might
try to put your xmodmap commands there.

Alternatively, you might want to play with gnome-keyboard-properties to
see whether it gives you what you want...

Cheers
Steffen.
