I digged a littel deeper in this and found im-chooser. with local login
this is set to "none", with x2go login this is set to "IBus". I switched
this in my 2go session to None as well an still had us keyboard but no
ibus any longer.

After setting german keyboard in the kde keyboard dialog ("input
devices" in kde system settings) I got german keyboard after every
login. I don't use different keyboard layouts here. Testing with x2go
keyboard layout settings does not set the keyboard in the x2go session
accordingly (tested with us keyboard layout).

Still confused about this
