Is there some reason that you can't just combine the two into one 
xmodmap call?
Thus:
$ xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" -e "pointer = 1 3 2 4 5 6 7"

TTFN,

Mount point keeps getting removed from desktop

I have my Windows partition permanently mounted (in fstab) at /mnt/win
and I have an icon for it on my desktop. For some reason the icon gets
removed every so often. Why would that be happening? Perhaps DevTray is
interfering with it?

Rox-lib changes keymap in rox-filer.

Arch Linux 2008.6
Rox 2.7
Problem always repeats.
No errors displayed.

I have searched my distro's forums googled and read Rox's FAQ's but unable to
find info on following error.No info in Rox filer manual.

Install Rox filer on Arch and keymap remains as Xorg default which is UK.

Install rox-lib2 and rox filer keymap changes to US.That is filer only,all other
apps remain on UK keymap.

Unable to find info.

Temporary workround de-install rox-lib2.Filer reverts to UK keymap.

Best Wishes Chris.

How do you set your keymap?

For example, if I run 'setxkbmap dvorak' I get the dvorak keymapping
and it works in the filer.

It could possibly be a locale issue. Are you using ROX-Session?

Please Explain How To Use Rox For FTP

The article on the main site says

Note that AVFS is turned on on a per-process basis. So make sure you turn it on in the script that runs
ROX-Filer (eg, ROX-Session/RunROX), not something that starts later (like your .zshrc file, which will
only affect things started from the shell).

But it doesn't say how to turn AVFS on.

I guess we should remove that entry (does anyone still use AVFS?).

Probably, we should get the gio branch working. Then you should be
able to explore archives (see the "gvfsd-archive" command).
