[X2Go-User] Tab not working in x2go from OSX

[M.Rule]

It seems to affect all applications. Cannot insert tab in text, cannot tab
complete in terminal. Alt+tab, control+tab, and command+tab all still work
and register with the xserver.

Has anyone seen this / solved this before?

Configuration:

OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite on a late-2008 aluminum macbook
Client: X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.1 (Qt - 4.8.7)
Server: Ubuntu studio, not sure what versions at the moment

Best,
Michael.

This issue has been reported before
<https://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-***@lists.berlios.de/msg01827.html> but
I did not notice a resolution in that thread. Applying the fix suggested
here <http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1771058.html> did not
work. This post
<http://blog.zerosum42.com/2011/10/tech-fixing-tab-key-in-vnc.html> ended
up being the most comprehensive review of the issue. It suggests this
command to fix the tab key behavior in XFCE:

$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -p /xfwm4/custom/'<'Super'>'Tab
-r

This worked for me.

After fixing this, I ran into a new problem with permuted or scrambled
keyboard layouts.

Changing the graphics compression algorithm caused the keyboard map to
become permuted. Perhaps something about making changes to a session
configuration disrupts the keyboard layout?

I found a previous post with no resolution
<http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2012-May/000820.html> that
referenced another (now inaccessible)
<https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-August/000301.html> post
also with no resolution.

Per the advice on this forum post
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2033902?tstart=0> I removed they X11
keyboard configuration (sudo rm -rf /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb). This broke
XQuartz. I moved the X11 folders in /usr out of the way, reinstalled
XQuartz, and rebooted.

After that, X starts normally and x2go works. The keyboard map is normal.
