Funnily enough - no. the xmodmap thing is a different issue and can be fixed
by flushing the evdev keymap into the VCK before calling xmodmap. See [1] for
a bad but more or less working solution (1.5, not master).

#16145 is fixed in master as 105d28652d1fb80dd8ce8511e2605dccc8812e99, just
needs some tender love and care (and backporting) to get into 1.5. Volunteers
accepted :)
 
The patches fix RedHat Bug 447252 [2], and Ubuntu Bug 196277 [3]. Not sure if
there's a matching X.Org bug.

Cheers,
