People in Laurux's forum have reported this software works in single app mode but on an Ubuntu server.

So it looks like this crash issue is related to the non-proper setting of the locale on Debian server...

Control: reassign -1 x2goserver 4.0.1.20

First of all, x2goserver 4.0.1.20 actually is the correct stable release.
4.1.0.0 are the current nightly releases.

I personally don't care much about what version is tested, but knowing whether
there's a difference in behavior between the stable and nightly versions is
certainly helpful.

Same issues with both versions.

How exactly did you set the locale?

The "Debian way" would be to run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root and select the
desired locale(s) to generate and then select the default one.

That is exactly the way  I set the locales.

/etc/environment should not contain any locale settings.

/etc/environmnent is empty
 

LANGUAGES and especially LC_ALL should normally not be set. LANGUAGES is a
GNU-only list of fallback locales. LANG is the preferred way to set the locale,
since it's being used if all of the LC_* env variables are empty.
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" will do the right thing™.

I confirm $LANGUAGES and $LC_ALL are not set on a local session.

What session are you starting exactly? I cannot find the string "No session for
pid" in x2goserver's source code. Not sure what to do with this.

I found out it is a reported bug related to LXDE : cf https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864402

That's certainly possible. The most likely cause, as Uli explained, is that the
command daemonizes itself right after launching it. This leads to the X2Go
scripts assuming that the program exited and subsequently also terminating the
session. We've seen such behavior every now and then and worked around it.

However, it looks like x2goagent is crashing when you start libreoffice in your
case. That shouldn't happen. My gut feeling is that this might be another GTK3
incompatibility.

I could try to reproduce this in a clean stretch VM.

Perfectly reproducible in my case on 2 installations.

That sounds like Gambas is doing something funny, though. As far as I was able
to gather, Gambas seems to be using Qt5 as its drawing toolkit.

The package qtbase5-examples should contain a binary at
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/mousebuttons/mousebuttons
which spits out received mouse events.

Can you try that - especially with double clicking - and see what it outputs?

$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/mousebuttons/mousebuttons
failed to get the current screen resources
QXcbConnection: XCB error: 172 (Unknown), sequence: 169, resource id: 175, major code: 149 (Unknown), minor code: 20
"Mouse Press: raw button=1  Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons LeftButton "
"Mouse Release: raw button=1  Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton"
"Mouse DoubleClick: raw button=1  Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttonsLeftButton "
"Mouse Release: raw button=1  Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton"

Reminder : the double click works when for example I launch an application from the desktop shortcut.
It is only in this gambas software that it does not work, and only when using x2go Windows client (works perfectly well with x2go linux client).
