I must admit I have some xmodmap-commands in my .xinitrc. They worked 
fine in my 7.0-Beta1 installation. I now have upgraded to 7.0. X.org is 
7.3_1. I copied my ~/frank from one computer to another via NFS. May it 
be there went something wrong? (See below)

I have only one in ~/frank.

The file /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is set to r--r--r--. It seems 
to me this is somehow wrong. Should I change it, and to which value?
