Use auto for the keyboard model, not the layout!!! The "Keep current  
keyboard settings" checkbox actually means: don't do anything  
keyboard'ish (ends up in pc104/us keyboard map) and let the user  
handle that in his/her desktop session keyboard setup tool.

The overrides have to be switched off. Otherwise you have two tools  
trying to play with setxkbmap!!!

I mostly test from Linux clients, sometimes from Windows machines.  
X2Go Server systems are mostly Debian. With those combinations, I  
always get a German keyboard even with the compose key being mapped  
correctly.
