The keyboard layout is modified in several stages. In the GUI (or in X
configuration files) you configure a base layout. The GUI also allows
you to apply various changes to that base layout, such as the function
of the windows keys. The .xmodmap changes are applied after those changes.

This means that if one user had previously configured the left windows
key to be a Multi_Key (also known as compose key), this would show up as
a different 'default' or base layout for xmodmap.
