I see to have the same problem on x2goclient v4.0.2.1, running on Macosx/Yosemite causes high cpu on server Desktop used LXDE, connection works fine but the openbox executable uses lots of cpu. Running x2goclient on Window/Linux has no problem using the same server.

Seems to be keyboard related, strace of the openbox process shows lots of: stat("/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=563200, ...}) = 0 stat("/home/filip/.compose-cache/", 0x7fff186ad020) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose", O_RDONLY) = 6 fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=563200, ...}) = 0 fstat(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=563200, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7feeebd5d000 read(6, "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "> <slash> <asciicircum> \t: \"|\" "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "terisk> \t\t: \"\302\260\" degree # DEGR"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, " \t: \"\302\245\" yen # YEN SIGN\n<Multi"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "_key> <U1102> <U1103> \t: \"\341\204\225\" "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "ti_key> <U1165> <U1175> \t: \"\341\205\246\""..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "\206\264\" U11b4 # HANGUL JONGSEONG R"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "> \t: \"\341\204\264\" U1134 # HANGUL CHOS"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, " <asciicircum> <KP_3> \t: \"\302\263\" "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "Multi_key> <E> <grave> \t\t: \"\303\210\" "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "H GRAVE\n<dead_acute> <O> "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, " LETTER THORN\n<dead_grave> <a> "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "resis # LATIN SMALL LETTER E WIT"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, " odiaeresis # LATIN SMALL LETTER"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "L LETTER A WITH MACRON\n<dead_bre"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "_key> <d> <less> \t\t\t: \"\304\217\" U01"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "11C # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WIT"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "\t: \"\304\252\" U012A # LATIN CAPITAL "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "# LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH ACUT"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "_key> <less> <n> \t\t\t: \"\305\210\" U01"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, " <r> <less> \t\t\t: \"\305\231\" U0159 # "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, ": \"\305\246\" U0166 # LATIN CAPITAL L"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "n> <u> \t: \"\305\263\" U0173 # LA"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "OKE\n<Multi_key> <KP_Divide> <I> "..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "aeresis> <u> \t: \"\307\226\" U01D6 # L"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "diaeresis> \t: \"\307\234\" U01D"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "ulti_key> <underscore> <dead_abo"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "ER EZH WITH CARON\n<Multi_key> <c"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "\n<dead_acute> <Multi_key> <KP_Di"..., 4096) = 4096 read(6, "LETTER H WITH CARON\n<Multi_key> "..., 4096) = 4096
