At first I was using the latest client but I had downgraded to the client version that matched our sever (x2goserver-4.1.0.0-1.el7.x86_64). But I just tried the latest (4.1.2.1) and that didn't help - still have a scrambled keyboard. Specifically, this thread:

Do make sure you're using the latest version of the X2GoClient; we had a
regression a while back that messed up keyboard settings on macOS and
you might have been affected by that. According to the changelog, it
was fixed in 4.1.2.0, released 2018-06-23.
