This issue is quite well known. I'm not sure if this is Neatx issue or 
"feature", as PC serves X-server role with it's own settings.
Anyway, you can solve this rather easily by adding to startup something similar 
to:
"setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru' -option 
'grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,numpad:microsoft,compose:caps'"
Change layouts and setting in string as you prefer.
In Ubuntu this is done via Preferences -> Startup.

And how can I configure that X-server settings? Both the local & remote user 
and the local & remote system are configured to "us,gr". Does neatx provide a 
fifth source of configuration for keyboard layouts?
I don't think so, since for single layouts it uses the existing configuration. 
It just can't handle multiple keyboard layouts.

Right, I currently use an /etc/xdg/autostart script that reads the current 
user's keyboard configuration and manually applies it with setxkbmap if it's an 
nx session, so that it works for different users/layouts.
But that's a workaround, it'd be better if neatx just worked out of the box 
like it does for single layouts.
