As written by Heinz [1] this issue was fixed in x2goserver 3.0.0-2.

Today I noticed this problem again on a different system and found out
that I had not disabled the check box »Tastaturlayout behalten« under
Sitzungsvoreinstellungen → Einstellungen → Tastatur (translation: keep
keyboard layout under system settings → settings → keyboard).

The forms are set to de pc105/de and it then works for me although I am
using a different keyboard layout (Neo [2]) for one user (under the
session x2goclient_gtk is started from and in the started GNOME session
which is loading a xmodmap file during start up).

So the wrong keyboard mapping still shows up, if you want to keep the
layout. Is this intended? Should there be a warning or explanation next
to the check box?


Thanks,

Paul
