OK, I've changed the email subject to reflect this (see also below for inline comment).

I think we have a bit of misunderstanding here, as you previously wrote that:
"2) is managed from the client side by issuing setxkbmap commands via the open SSH channel".

That is, it is managed from the client side, but set on server via SSH.

And I couldn't find any code in x2goclient (4.0.1.0) for doing this.

That's why I thought it is done via x2gosetkeyboard and in fact it does work like this with small script change
(not creating blocking directory when layout != "auto").
