Thank you very much. Will try the latest version, and strace, later this afternoon, and let you know what I find.

Can you cross-check the observed problem with latest X2Go Client [1]???

Can you launch X2Go Client from a terminal on Mac OS X and use a tool  
like strace (if that exists) and check its output for pointers to  
file-not-found errors?

That would be really helpful for tracking down this issue.

Mike
