[X2Go-User] Problem with ALT GR key wth linux client

[Ulrich Sibiller]

Can you please post /tmp/.x2go-<user/.../session.log?

You should ensure setxkbmap -query will output the same both on the
client and inside the session. If that is not the case we need to find
out why that is.

As you have "xfree86" in your output I think xfce fiddles with the
keyboard settings. This leads to the question if it works if just
start an xterm instead of a full blown desktop.

Pressing  ALTGR + 7 gives me a "7", STRG+ALT+7 gives me a "7", too. Pressing the up arrow key, doesn't display the last command, instead I get the error, that xfce-screenshooter couldn't be started.
