Executing command on startup doesn't work

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to execute this script when X starts:
xmodmap -e " keycode 118 = Delete"
which works, when is executed manually from console. I tried to run it automaticaly after login and starting X by putting it into .zprofile, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/***, .xinit or to my awesome wm config (all other scripts here are executed normally - eg pulseaudio --start). But this command is never executed. I tried even variant with adding this to .Xmodmap and then add xmodmap .Xmodmap to .xinit, but without success.
Thanks

Here is how my .xinitrc looks like:
#! /bin/bash
xmodmap -e " keycode 118 = Delete"
exec awesome
When I manually type this command, everything works. But it doesn't work after reboot (and .xinitrc is surely executed, because awesome starts ok).
xmodmap seems to be time sensible. Anyhow, on my WM startup file I have:
(sleep 10; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap; sleep 5; xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap) &
I come to this by trial and error.
Has said I have it on my WM startup file, but having it on .xinitrc is also OK.
