When I start a remote linux session from an OSX client, then disconnect and pick up the session from a windows client, the screen seems OK but the keyboard input is garbage. I thought I had that problem a long time ago and then it was fixed. Do the client versions have to stay in sync? And is there some way to reset the keyboard type to fix it and continue the session?
The OS X client is synchronizing the keyboard layout by fetching the output of xmodmap on OS X and passing it to the remote session once every few seconds. If the Windows client is not overriding this on resuming by some means (I currently do not know the default behavior of the Windows-specific code), I'd expect the mappings to be wrong.
Aside from that, keeping the client versions close (or rather: using the newest version) is generally a good idea.
Maybe you just need to force a keyboard layout in the session settings on the Windows machine? Note that those options are not available in the OS X client due to the automatic synchronization via xmodmap anymore.
