I still can't figure this out, but can reproduce some problems.  This is with 
x2goserver-4.0.1.9-2.el6.x86_64 on the server, and 
x2goclient-4.0.1.1-1.fc19.x86_64 on the client.  Starting an XFCE session and 
launching a terminal.  At this point arrow keys do not work in the shell.  So 
I do:

[orion at vulcan ~]$ setxkbmap -print
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'base' model - 'pc105' layout - 'us'
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"	};
};
[orion at vulcan ~]$ setxkbmap
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'base' model - 'pc105' layout - 'us'
[orion at vulcan ~]$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"	};
};

After I run "setxkbmap", the arrow keys work fine.


I still can't find where setxkbmap is supposed to be executed in this case.
