Hello,

I don't have this problem with X2go, but I had it in the past in FreeNX.
(I am running FreeNX for many years on many machines with Debian Sarge
and Etch).

In FreeNX you can tell what to do when you want to start KDE or Gnome,
in my case Gnome. I configured it so that not Gnome was starting
directly, but a script, what started Gnome. In that script I did put
things like this:
----------
umask 0002   (setting the umask)
export TESTVAR=test21   (setting environment)
. ~/.gnomerc  (running scripts)
/usr/bin/X11/setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout us -option ""
/usr/bin/gnome-session  (start gnome)
----------

The setxkbmap option helped against the keyboard problems. Maybe this
can help you in finding the problem.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
