Thanks Stefan,
I understand now the meaning of what is implemented.
However, since the localization is already within the application and
selected based on the regional settings, would it be possible to add a
settings field to explicitly choose it?

I have an english US windows, with english UK keyboard, and German
region (because of number notation mostly).
AFAIK this combination happens quite often as soon as you move outside
your country (to work), and it doesn't mean that your are familiar
enough with the foreign language, so I think this is a valid use case.

Also, I suppose the implementation effort without be reasonable having
localization already in place.

I hope this will get through :p

    Version: git master


    Hi,

    at Gentoo latest version of the dash shell doesn't support "echo -n"
    anymore[1]. The result is that x2gpath returns every path with a
    prefixed "-n " when dash is used as /bin/sh.
    Accoring to "man p1 echo" section "APPLICATION USAGE" applications
    should not rely on "echo -n" but use printf instead.
    The attached patch does exactly that.

    Kind regards
    Lars

    Package: keyboard layout
    Version. 2.7.7

    Just yesterday, I attempted to connect remotely to my work desktop
    using X2go and the keyboard layout was completely erratic (e =
    backspace, enter = j, etc.).  When I attempt to change the keyboard
    layout in preferences, no matter what input I choose, I get the
    following error:

    Error activating XKB configuration.
    It can happen under various circumstances:
    - a bug in libxklavier library
    - a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
    - X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation

    X server version data:
    The X.Org Foundation
    70000000

    If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
    - The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
    - The result of gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd

    When I use an X11 terminal to run the xprop and gconftrool-2, I get
    the following responses:

    bash-3.2$ xprop -root|grep XKB
    _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "base", "empty", "empty", "", ""

    bash-3.2$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd
    bash: gconftool-2: command not found

    I'm also having some connectivity issues, where X2go closes
    unexpectedly at least once before I'm able to log on, I don't know
    if that issue is related to the keyboard one or not.  Thank you,

    Dan Albrecht

The language selection is only for the language of the installer. X2Go
chooses the display language according to the system settings.
I assume you're running x2goclient on Windows, and that Windows is
either a German-Language one, or has German regional settings applied?

If so, I'm inclined to tag this notabug, wontfix, close. ;-)
