[X2Go-User] keyboard layout driving me insane

[Neal Becker]

On client side, I have layout set to map caps lock to ctrl. I need this
also when using x2go! But it seems hard to achieve. In x2go, I try both
'autodetect keyboard' and 'don't configure keyboard'. I try mate, xfce,
lxde. On the server side I would like to try also configure keyboard
layout, but I don't find any good way to do it on those window managers.
Unfortunately, neither KDE nor GNOME will work (both client and server are
fedora 28).

Sometimes I seem to hit a combination that works, but then when if the
connection is terminated and I try again, it's once again not preserving my
key remapping. This is driving me nuts! Any recommendations?

See thread "client name" of a few weeks ago. The workaround Ulrich
Sibiller proposed at the end of the thread works like a charm.

Probably thia workaround works for you as well.
