inconsistent support of xmodmap

What all apps do not support it?

Well, I have only just begun trying out the OS and have noticed it in
Geary (messages pane does not respect the setting, individual message
view does), Midori (browser yes, settings no), Empathy does not support
it, system settings does not, but Software Center and Terminal do. Does
that help?

In Geary, the message pane (we call it the conversation viewer) is a webKitGTK widget embedded in the app. The other panes are GTK. Does GTK not support xmodmap under the covers?
