You can put your xmodmap entries inside the file ~/.Xmodmap

This file is parsed automatically when running startxfce4

Hi mmassonnet
I'm a noob so I did'nt understand your reply. Should I write "$ grep -i xmodmap /usr/local etc " in ~/.xinitrc ?
I have always failed to disable permanently Capslock in Xfce.

The xinitrc file provide by Xfce, which is always parsed when you use startxfce4, will read the file "$HOME/.Xmodmap".

  $  grep -i xmodmap /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
/usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc:117:test -r $HOME/.Xmodmap && xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap

. . . best way to switch ctrl and CapsLock? I've done this for years and can never remember how.
