Hi All,

setxkbmap 1.3.1
xfce4-panel 4.12.1 (Xfce 4.12)
CentOS Linux release 7.7 (Core)

I’m using an Remote Desktop tool for accessing my CentOS server. There’s a 
quirk in the software with this one Remote Desktop tool (another tool I use 
doesn’t have this issue). On this specific Remote Desktop tool, setxkbmap 
cannot properly update the keymap unless I pipe it into xkbcomp. The Remote 
Desktop vendor believes they are doing everything correctly, but evidence 
suggests they are missing something.

Using one Remote Desktop tool I can perform this command and it updates the 
keymap:
setxkbmap -rules evdev -model pc105 -layout us -variant altgr-intl

Using another Remote Desktop tool, I am required to do this:
setxkbmap -rules evdev -model pc105 -layout us -variant altgr-intl -print | 
xkbcomp - $DISPLAY

I am happy to debug this (although I don’t have root access to the server), and 
the RDP vendor would gladly fix it, if only they knew what might be wrong.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
