xmodmap restarts X-server without applying changes

[Brian Keener]

I'm trying to run

xmodmap -e "keysym Home = "

And it's restarting my X-server without applying the changes to the
keymappings.

Oddly enough, if I start the X server as "-multiwindow" it applies the
change without rebooting, and resolves (partially) my previous report of
extraneous "home" keypresses.  However, running X as "-rootless" or
without any command line options at all results in the behaviour
reported above...
