xmodmap and xinitrc

Hi

I've googled for this problem quite a bit, but I can't figure out what the solution might be.

The problem is that when I use xmodmap in my ~/.xinitrc file, it simply doesn't have any effect once I've logged in. I'm using the latest of "everything" and SLiM as my login manager.

This is my ~/.xinitrc:

export PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$HOME/usr/bin:$PATH &
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
setxkbmap se dvorak &
urxvtd -f -q &
xmodmap /home/skorpan/.Xmodmap
/home/skorpan/.cabal/bin/xmonad

This is my file ~/.Xmodmap:

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

Thanks
