In my tests I have changed the _first_ entry in the options file, the
one without the +. Does that make any difference for you?

Quitting the x2goclient is effectively suspending the session since
there's no nxproxy anymore. You can see that in the file session.log
on the server (~(.x2go/C-username-something/...).

Providing that sleep=0 option is changing only one thing: it
eliminates any sleeps that have been implemented to take load off the
server in suspended state. There should not be any other behaviourial
differences.

Can you please explain in detail? I am wondering what is happening here.

You can also try - instead of using the non-obvious setting in
x2goagent.setting - to adapt x2gostartagent on the server to integrate
that option into the generated options file.
