Sounds like you're calling setxkbmap when there's no display variable set.

Would you please try wrapping the setxkbmap call with
if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
	setxkbmap de
fi

Also, what you are doing sounds like a workaround for $SOMETHING.

Could it be that you are unaware of the option to enforce a keyboard
mapping using X2GoClient?
If you know of that option, but it doesn't work for you, we'd prefer
receiving a bug report for that, rather than for your intended
workaround that doesn't work. ;-)

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
