Thank you, Sami! I moved the line "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap &" from
~/.xsession to ~/.fluxbox/startup just before

exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

Now everything is working fine.

The way with the acme tool I mentioned in my previous mail did work
also, but was not flexible enough, as with acme one can not use modfiers
(Alt, Ctrl, Meta etc.) for hotkeys, which I do a lot.

So, thanks again!
