(Continuing my previous reply). OK - tried a non english keyboard
(hebrew), and it works fine. The thing to understand is that changing
the keyboard mapping on the client doesn't affect the server - only
changes on the server side affect it. So to get a german keyboard, you'd
need to change the keyboard on the remote side, the server, for instance
I just used "setxkbmap il" to change the keymap to the hebrew one on the
remote side.
