Can't bind caps lock to control on startup

Description

I have some enhancements for my keyboard through xmodmap - commands, and I run them through 'application autostart' on xfce settings. All other bindings are properly set, but Caps Lock remains Caps Lock.

If I run script manually after xfce has booted, everything works as supposed.

Command I use for binding capslock: xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 0x42 = Control_L' -e 'add Control = Control_L'

This also works on startup with awesome WM on same machine, so it's quite propably xfce-related.

I'm using Xfce 4.10 on Xubuntu 12.10 32bit OS (64bit machine though).

Version: 4.10.0
