Hi Maciej,

I have taken a look at this issue this morning and I think in some  
parts you are right, in some parts you are wrong.

x2gostartagent: here I do not see an issue. Not that in X2Go Server  
there are three ways to set up your keyboard:

  1) no setup at all (setxkb=false in sessions file)
  2) setup a specific setup (e.g. type=pc105/us, layout=us)
  3) automatic setup (-> type=auto, layout=)

The server-side script ,,x2gosetkeyboard'' is only used for 3).

The keyboard setup for 2) is managed from the client side by issuing  
setxkbmap commands via the open SSH channel.

On x2gostartagent, everything (after testing with PyHoca-GUI and X2Go  
Client) works as expected.

For x2goresume-session, however, you dug out a minor issue. This issue  
has been fixed now, see the automatic follow-up mail which will point  
you to the code change in X2Go Git.

Thanks for contributing to X2Go,
Mike
