[X2Go-Dev] setting keyboard layout in x2goserver

[Ulrich Sibiller]

NX toakes care of the keyboard when the keyboard is null/null. In that case
x2goagent switches to keyboard cloning mode and creates a blocking dir
which effectively prevents x2go from setting the keyboard on startup. See
Keyboard.c in NX agent. But it should not be us afterwards, it should be
the same as on your client.
