I was using exacly the same on my R50. Since the update to Gnome 2.6 on
Debian/Sid, there has been some changes but not in the way Gnome handles
Xmodmap but in the way xfree86 uses xmodmap.

See the following debian bug I have reported : 

Bug#251359: Acknowledgement
(xserver-xfree86: xmodmap not
supported anymore)


I have no solution but the guy working on the package has told me that
Xmodmap has been deprecated for years, and will help me transfer my file
to something working.

I'll keep you in touch.
