keyboard mapping issues... — at Version 3

Description (last modified by Antoine Martin)

NX and VNC call self.set_xmodmap(session, user) before any client attaches to set the keymap to the one that was supplied by the client (guessed using xmodmap on *nix clients)

This seems to work in most cases but not always.

Here are some bugs that may be related:

Also related is #82 : on macosx we can't always get xmodmap (if the server is not running this would cause it to start).

We may be able to get it to work with just setxkbmap?
(ie: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc104 -layout us -option "";), provide UI to select the keymap given the list in grep xkb_symbols /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb? default to current? (setxkbmap -print)
