Ok, I already looked at the SSH_ environment variables but I cannot use
IP :-(

I have never played with keyboard settings, but would it be possible
to create a per client keyboard layout that is sent to the server? I
want to find a proper solution for automatically mapping keys. Now I
need to invoke manually the xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.clientname to set the
different keyboards settings. A single session or resuming with the
same computer is no problem, the issue occurs when resuming a session
using a different computer than the computer which had initiated the
session.

IOW: this is a follow up of the xmodmap thread ;-)
