[X2Go-User] x2go over wayland now working?

[Neal Becker]

Spoke too soon.  This is driving me nuts.  There seems to be no way to get 
my remapping of caps lock as ctrl to work (although it worked once!).

I've tried a bunch of remote desktops: mate, xfce, lxqt.  I've tried setting 
on x2go client I/O to configure keyboard, don't configure keyboard, auto-
detect.  I've tried in the x2go session various ways to configure the 
keyboard.  The best I can manage is that caps lock does nothing (the worst I 
can get is caps lock is stuck on and can't be turned off).

I'm baffled.  I'm not an X expert, but if I run xev within the x2go session 
and hit capslock I see something about a keysym "capslock".  So the concept 
of capslock is being propagated to the remote session.  But I can't seem to 
remap it to do anything (like ctrl as I want) either through any gui 
keyboard config, or using setxkbmap.

The current setxkbmap state is (as told by the remote session)
setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us
options:    ctrl:nocaps,caps:ctrl_modifier
