Put a shell script in ~/.kde/Autostart and remember to give it execute
permissions (chmod u+x filename).

The script would then be something like this

#!/bin/sh
xmodmap /home/user/.xmodmaprc

Successfull !
Thanks ! But, may I conclude that ~/.xsession is no more the user X startup
script ?

According to man xsession the file should be called $HOME/.Xsession -
note the capital letter X.
And this works for my without any problems.

Either should work. According to xsession(5):

... if the line 'allow-user-xsession' is present in Xsession.options, a
user-specified session program or script is used. In the latter
case, two historically popular names for user X session scripts are
searched for: $HOME/.xsession and $HOME/.Xsession (note the
difference in case). The first one found is used.

These are Debian specific changes, I think. I prefer to use the startx
script, starting X and my window manager (FVWM2) from the command line.
In this scenario, one would normally initialise startx using commands
found in ~/.xinitrc, however Debian have combined the functionality of
both into ~/.xsession. See startx(1).
