       Hello,

       I use IceWM and I can use xmodmap in my ~/.icewm/startup file

       ...
       if [ -f .xmodmap-`hostname -s` ]
       then
         xmodmap .xmodmap-`hostname -s`
       if [ -f .xset-`hostname -s` ]
       ...

       ~/.xmodmap-rabeson          # for my Dell laptop

       remove Control = Control_R
       remove Mod2    = Num_Lock
       
       keycode 0x4D =  Num_Lock        Num_Lock
       keycode 0x6C =  Shift_R
       keycode 0x75 =  Multi_key
       keycode 0x6D =  Meta_R
       ! la petite touche i sur laptop Dell
       keycode 0x81 = F25
       
       add    Shift   = Shift_R
       add    Mod2    = Meta_R
       remove Mod2    = Alt_R
       add    Mod3    = F25
       add    Mod5    = Alt_R
