Can you please disable automatic keyboard detection in x2goclient for
the session and retry? I spend some time last week to look into that
and it seems there's a really a bug. I was interrupted and had no time
to further track that down. But it seems that the way x2goclient is
passing keyboard stuff (by asking for "null/null" which triggers a
special path in nx) is not handled correctly for the shadow mode. So
disabling automatic keyboard detection in x2go should bypass that
broken code. I have not tested, though..
