I see:

void ONMainWindow::slotChangeKbdLayout(const QString& layout)
{
#ifdef Q_OS_LINUX
     QStringList args;
     args<<"-layout"<<layout;

     x2goDebug<<"Running setxkbmap with params: "<<args.join(" ");

     QProcess::startDetached("setxkbmap",args);
#endif
}

The bug report (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1033876) is with a 
Windows XP client.  Is that the issue, that this code is only run on Linux?  Why?
