This is odd.

Reinstalling x2goclient or XQuartz won't help in that case.

We're currently starting PA upon client startup, no matter whether sessions will
use it or not. The currently WIP/unreleased X2Go Client version changed this
behavior, IIRC.

PA is shipped within the x2goclient app bundle, so users do not need to install
it themselves in general. This said, if it is, this might cause trouble.


Can you please open a terminal window and execute:

/path/to/x2goclient.app/Contents/MacOS/x2goclient --debug >
~/x2goclient.debug.log 2>&1

Naturally with /path/to/x2goclient.app substituted with the actual path.
