Just to round this out, in case it might be of use to anyone else, I eventually got a working system as documented in comment 19 here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033876

- For the simple xterm session setting the layout to "auto" or checking the box "Keep current keyboard settings" is not working.
Use auto for the keyboard model, not the layout!!! The "Keep current keyboard settings" checkbox actually means: don't do anything keyboard'ish (ends up in pc104/us keyboard map) and let the user handle that in his/her desktop session keyboard setup tool.
- KDE is possibly overriding the already set keyboard map with a US layout.
The overrides have to be switched off. Otherwise you have two tools trying to play with setxkbmap!!!
Can you confirm that its possible (for you) to get a KDE session with the correct keyboard mapping that is not the default?
I mostly test from Linux clients, sometimes from Windows machines. X2Go Server systems are mostly Debian. With those combinations, I always get a German keyboard even with the compose key being mapped correctly.
