Yes, let's take the discussion of the win32 builds to another thread and/or IRC.
Watch for an announcement on x2go-dev.

I wonder if we should take this discussion to another thread as the subject here is misleading now (my fault for mentioning the keyboard issue in this thread.)
@Mike(DePaulo) Many thanks. I'll look out for the new Windows client builds.
@Mike(Gabriel) Am I going to need recent nightly builds of the server as well? I'm currently using the RPMS from the Fedora 20 repository maintained by Orion. Current version is x2goserver-4.0.1.9-2.fc20.x86_64.
Thanks both.

Hi Roderick,
I am the current maintainer of the windows builds.
There are no nightly windows builds because the windows builds are not automated. they are done manually by me according to the instructions here: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto- mswin:x2goclient?s[]=win32 Other people can follow those instructions too. They could use some clarifications, but they are accurate.
Automating the windows builds and producing nightly builds is something I would like to accomplish in the future, but I cannot make any commitments at this time.
I will do a few windows builds over the next several days. If they're not going to be posted on the downloads site under "previews", I'll put them on a file hosting site so you and everyone else can try them.

I managed to get x2go to set the correct type and layout but I think kde is overriding it. I got this all working in the beta, but its broken again in the F20 release. I did notice this in the x2go log, maybe related? nxagentXkbGetRules: WARNING! Failed to stat file [/usr/lib64/nx/X11/xkb/rules/__xorg]: Unknown error -1. Yes, I noticed that too. I think that is fixed by touching the file usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap.dir. Anyway, touching the keymap.dir file seems to be needed for the keyboard mapping to work at all. Actually there are three cases of different settings in the client. Currently I only have the case of setting the keyboard type and layout explicitly, working. I will be reporting the non-working cases, but need some time for more testing to be sure of whats notworking.
By putting some debugging into /usr/bin/startkde I can see that the keymap is set correctly before starting kde but once the session is established its changed to a us keyboard layout. Roderick Please try X2Go Client from our nightly builds [1] with your testings. The keyboard setup method has slightly changed there.

Mike Thanks for your interest in this. Getting this working is a high priority for me. I checked out the link that you posted. I am interested in Windows and Macos Clients. Currently I've been testing the Windows client but can't see any nightly builds for that OS on that page. Can you provide a more specific link please? I did check the preview releases but dont ee anything newer than the 4.0.1.2 version that I have. Many thanks.
