Obviously not, but something definitely sounds fishy there.

In general, running xmodmap every 10 seconds is fine. That's how we synchronize
the keyboard map on OS X. I understand this may seem weird, but keyboard
handling on OS X is difficult. The keyboard settings that is reported by the
local X server on OS X is just "bogus" and the mapping is done differently. I
don't know how exactly, but I figure it's going through the OS X system at some
point.

A problem arises if these values are taken at face value - they keyboard mapping
would completely messed up. This also holds, for example, if the keyboard
parameters is changed in x2goagent/nxagent (e.g., via the desktop environment)
itself.


The second issue - ssh processes stacking up, is NOT intentional and must be fixed.


Can you reproduce this with current versions?
