xmodmap: unable to open file '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmo

I run xkill and clicked my kde dektop :> sill? :>
Run Eterm and typed kdesktop:

[macieks@Komp_607 ~]$ kdesktop
[macieks@Komp_607 ~]$ xmodmap:  unable to open file '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap' for reading
xmodmap:  1 error encountered, aborting.

kdesktop run OK but why xmodmap searches the .Xmodmap file in the old xorg patch?
I have the newest packages from all repos. Everything works fine.

it also appears in .xsession errors:

$ cat ~/.xsession-errors |grep xmodmap
xmodmap:  unable to open file '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap' for reading

kdesktop seems to work well here (in fvwm). Is your system up-to-date?
Maybe reinstalling xorg-server-utils will help.

$ pacman -Qo  /usr/bin/xmodmap
/usr/bin/xmodmap is owned by xorg-server-utils 1.0.0-1
