[X2Go-User] Keyboard problem with Del key in XFCE

[Javier Cacheiro Lopez]

Hi,

I have been trying with different types of sessions and LXDE showed 
similar issues to XFCE but in this case the keyboard problems are solved 
running:

     setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout es

after the session is started.

It seems the setxbmap is not executed automatically in the case of LXDE. 
Looking at the source code I see no difference in x2gostartagent that 
depends on the type of session so that in the case of LXDE the keyboard 
is not configured but I must admit I do not understand quite well the 
keyboard setup process.

Any idea to debug the XFCE problem will be much appreciated.

Thanks!
