Hello! Many thanks for your reply.
I'll try to check that all out in the next days. I thought, "you are pretty sure" wrong and re-testet it immidiately - it is the same for xterm, like I remembered from older tests (to avoid issues with mate-/xfce-/konsole terms).

If the desktop environment kicks it AFTER the x2go setting will be gone. You can check by running setxkbmap -query both INSIDE the session and locally. And you can fix it (temporarily) by running INSIDE the session "setxkbmap -model ... - layout ... -rules ... -variant ... -option ..." based on the values from your local setxkbmap. (leave out parameters your setxkbmap -query does not print). You can also run an test session where you just specify xterm as your "desktop environment". I am pretty sure the keyboard will be correct then. Can you confirm?
