Why not just an easy frontend to do what xmodmap does?  X already has a
concept of "keymappings" which allows for a given key to be mapped to a
symbolic entity.  E.g., Backspace doesn't work in Netscape by default
under linux because netscape expects backspace to mapped to the
"Backspace" keysym; under Linux, it is mapped to the "Delete" keysym.

It should be easy enough to write a utility that would load up a set of
keysyms when gnome was started.
