well, here's the contents of my .xmodmaprc. It's not much, but maybe
something will be useful for you. It solved a couple of pretty
annoying problems for me:

1) The lack of a conveniently-located key to start a kanji
conversion. 

2) Who actually uses caps lock? I'm a vim person, and accidentally
turning Caps Lock on (which I do a lot, because it's right next to my
pinky) can be a good way to lose stuff I'm working on (for example,
dw deletes a word, DW deletes the rest of the line you're on and
jumps to the next word). So, this .xmodmap

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
clear Lock
keycode 66 = Kanji
keycode 111 = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 115 = F21
keycode 117 = F20
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
1) Moves the Caps Lock key to the PrntScrn key (which I don't need)

2) Binds the traditional Caps Lock key to Kanji

3) Binds the Windows(TM) key to F21 (which I bind to my WM's root
   menu). Although I suppose it would probably be pretty amusing to bind
   it to the xscreensaver module that simulates the Windows blue screen
   of death instead. 

4) Binds the MS-Menu key to F20 (which I don't use because it's in a
   really inconvenient place on my laptop)

Hope that helps.
