Hi! We have added a german keyboard map now. This will be included in the 
next release of ThinLinc (3.5.0). Until then, you can download a 
development version here:

http://www.cendio.com/~astrand/thinlinc/b4331/

To activate the german keymap, execute:

# tl-config /vsmagent/xserver_args="-br -nolisten tcp -localhost -KeyboardMap=de"
# /etc/init.d/vsmagent restart

Best regards,
