  I posted here a while back about an issue with keyboard translation

with MacOS 10.10.3, it worked fine on my sons computer but not on a customers with the same OS.

  I went to the customers premise today and from his machine logged in as

myself and the keyboard worked properly, logged in as him and it did not.

  We narrowed it down to his having /bin/csh as the shell on the Ubuntu

14.04 server and I /bin/ksh. Changing his shell to ksh resolved the translation issue.

  However, from a Ubuntu 14.10 Linux workstation, it is fine to have csh

as the shell on the server, it only breaks if originating from a MacOS workstation.

  Any idea why it would matter what login shell is used if originating

from a mac but not from Linux?

Yes: x2goclient runs a periodical xmodmap command to synchronize the OS X keyboard settings with the remote side.

You should not ever use something other than bash with X2Go. Seriously.
