You could launch it from ~/.xinitrc for example as:

xmodmap.sh
exec startkde

and in xmodmap.sh you must take care that you set the $DISPLAY
accordingly, for example as 'setenv DISPLAY :0.0' and make sure that
you let first come up the Xorg and the desktop too, before launching
the xmodmap commands;

if you use KDE as desktop, like I do, it is more simple to just put your
script into the ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory;
