c) you have configured a special keyboard configuration somewhere in Mate I don't recall doing so. The only thing I did is allow the Hebrew keyboard (selectable in the menu bar), but I had used a Hebrew keyboard prior to this problem.
Ok, this sounds relevant. Can you please describe how this is set up? and can you try if it works without that?
In the very top right of the screen there is a pull down menu, and Hebrew is available and unchecked.
d) you have configured caps lock/numlock being active on Mate startup (I don't know if this is configurable in Mate) I haven't configured either of these for Mate. In fact, I'd like to configure all keyboards to not use caps lock. If you know a way to do this (so that caps lock is inactive for me, whether I'm on the console or elsewhere), please let me know. Caps lock is an annoyance at best.
does this help? https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/29
e) you have caps lock/numlock activated on the x2go client side I have configured caps lock to be inactive on my Mac. My Mac keyboard doesn't have a num lock key.
Ok, please also describe where you set this and retry with that setting restored to the default.
The default setting is still there, it says Disabled. The screen shot from github link is older and says Default. It appears to now say Disabled. Just to restate, "Caps Lock is Disabled" is NOT selected. And when we played with setting it, that option didn't make any difference, i.e., using Tweaks, when we chose "Caps Lock is Disabled", caps lock still worked. The other radio button options at least did make a difference.
But it appears at least XFCE works and does not crash.
