[X2Go-User] Tab not working in x2go from OSX

After fixing this, I ran into a new problem with permuted or scrambled
keyboard layouts.

Changing the graphics compression algorithm caused the keyboard map to
become permuted. Perhaps something about making changes to a session
configuration disrupts the keyboard layout?

I found a previous post with no resolution
<http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2012-May/000820.html> that
referenced another (now inaccessible)
<https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-August/000301.html> post
also with no resolution.

Per the advice on this forum post
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2033902?tstart=0> I removed they X11
keyboard configuration (sudo rm -rf /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb). This broke
XQuartz. I moved the X11 folders in /usr out of the way, reinstalled
XQuartz, and rebooted.

After that, X starts normally and x2go works. The keyboard map is normal.
