Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.3.1
Hello x2go dev team,
I have Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a client machine and use ALT+SHIFT to switch the keyboard layout. As a client a use X2Go Client V. 4.0.3.1 - the latest thing available from your repository at the moment.
On a remote machine I have Debian Wheezy with KDE 4.8.4 and the latest x2go server from http://packages.x2go.org/debian. So should be 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+wheezy.main.1
The problem is that if in KDE Keyboard settings in "Layouts" as a main shortcut for switching layout i'll select the same layout I use locally (ALT+SHIFT in my case) it will not work properly. If you work on a remote machine and hit ALT+SHIFT - layout only switches on a local machine. If you hit ALT+SHIFT multiple times quite fast sometimes layout on a remote machine switches too. Sometimes not.
I tried to set different keyboard settings in the session settings - does not help. If I set something other than the 'do not configure' after connecting to the remote instead of 2 layouts I have a third one - undef. Which will disappear if I just go to keyboard settings and apply the same settings i had. Maybe that resets some settings which x2go does after connection is established. But that 'undef' thing is not what bothers me.
Problem with the layout switching has appeared long ago- since the Ubuntu 13. As I remeber 12 was the latest one which worked normally. After the upgrade from 12 to 13 even locally ALT+SHIFT combo didn't work. That was a really big problem and that has a confirmed bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1218322. There are some other related bugs, I can try to find them if needed. It is partially fixed - at least ALT+SHIFT now works locally but since that time I have a problem witch x2go as I described earlier.
I tried to use CAPS Lock on both machines - same problem. As I remember I tried installing MATE instead of KDE - didn't help. I believe that problem is in Ubuntu - in how it now intercepts keyboard shortcuts. Through the 12->13 transition they changed something. Please take a look at the problem. Currently I have different shortcuts on remote a local machine. It's quite uncofortable.
