I assume this is on the x2go server.  It at least appears that way.

On my server I seem to have a few stale session directories hanging 
around plus the currently active session. The current session is 
published apps.  The others are either desktops or xdmcp.  In all of the 
session directories except the published apps, I don't have a keyboard 
file, instead I have a directory.  And in x2gosetkeyboard I came across 
this:

# if there is a directory at the location of the keyboard file, we 
consider this as blocking this script
if [ -d ${X2GO_CLIENT_KBD_FILE} ]; then
	$X2GO_LIB_PATH/x2gosyslog "$0" "info" "${X2GO_CLIENT_KBD_FILE} is 
blocked, not setting keyboard parameters from client-side settings"
	rm -Rf ${X2GO_CLIENT_KBD_FILE}
	exit 0
fi

So in those instances it appears nothing is being done with the keymap.

As a side note, I see several calls to x2gosyslog in x2gosetkeyboard. 
Nothing is being logged from x2gosetkeyboard, however.  I assume there 
is an option I need to enable, but as I just now learned that there is 
such a command, I haven't looked into enabling it as yet.
