Does anyone have a solution for issues where xmodmap doesn't work properly?

One set of customers is complaining that the xmodmap command has no effect
on the X server's settings:

        plxw0032 204 /fs3/e/boerio> xmodmap
        xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

        shift       Shift_L (0xa),  Shift_R (0xb)
        lock      
        control     Control_L (0x8),  Control_R (0x9)
        mod1        Alt_L (0xe),  Alt_R (0xf)
        mod2      
        mod3      
        mod4        Meta_L (0xc),  Meta_R (0xd)
        mod5      
        plxw0032 205 /fs3/e/boerio> xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Num_Lock"
        plxw0032 206 /fs3/e/boerio> echo $status
        1
        plxw0032 207 /fs3/e/boerio> xmodmap
        xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

        shift       Shift_L (0xa),  Shift_R (0xb)
        lock      
        control     Control_L (0x8),  Control_R (0x9)
        mod1        Alt_L (0xe),  Alt_R (0xf)
        mod2      
        mod3      
        mod4        Meta_L (0xc),  Meta_R (0xd)
        mod5      

        plxw0032 208 /fs3/e/boerio> echo $status
        0

So, the xmodmap is returning some sort of error code, which isn't
documented in the man page.

When running the same commands from a console X session, or through
something like Exceed, this command doesn't fail.
