Hi there

I have simmilar Problems. After logging in with x2go I always have us
keyboard. Different from my direct login I have the IBus keyboard icon
im ny system tray. this only shows us keyboard as available. After
adding german keyboard to this list my x2go client settings are used as
well. To add german keyboard I had to activate "customized active input
method" on the "input method" tab first. May be you have to add all your
needed keyboard layout to this list and after this your remote selection
is used.

I am not realy sure what this IBus thing is all about and why I have to
configure it with x2go but not with local login.

regards
Martin
