I just made an important observation:

roman at funka ~> cat .Xmodmap
!switch the Caps lock and the esc key (good for vi)
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Escape
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock

Now if I do "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap", the keyboard shortcuts are lost (only
'Upper Workspace' keeps working)! And startup, the .xmodmap is applied,
too, and I think this is the reason why after every new login the
shortcuts do no work. The question remains why this .Xmodmap affects an
unrelated shortcut.

BR, Roman
