I have no objection removing ~/.nx and /etc/nxagent from the file list
in my patch, keeping ~/.x2go/config/keystrokes.cfg and
/etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg.  As ~/.nx does not work at all at the moment,
this wouldn't even break existing setups (but would require updating the
documentation in the wiki).

This may or may not be a good idea.  For example, IMHO it'd require
introducing a way to completely remove/disable /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg
definitions via directives in user-local files, instead of only
overriding key definitions.  Also, it has the potential of not being
compatible to existing setups.  Nevertheless, I suggest opening a new
bug for this, as #744 needs to be fixed either way.
