Thank you, > > Dan Albrecht I am not sure that this really is a bug. It surely could be handled in=20= =20 a=20better way in X2Go, but basically, what you do is: (a) you tell X2Go Client to set some specific keyboard set up for=20=20 the=20session (b) have a special keyboard setting configured by the desktop environmen= t Both approaches do not go well together. In X2Go, we recommend to=20=20 disable=20all keyboard settings made by the desktop shell, but let X2Go=20= =20 Client=20set up the keyboard model, layout and variant. I reassigned this issue to wiki.x2go.org as it rather requires=20=20 documentation=20in the FAQ than a fix in the software.
