Thanks for this detailled analysis. It indeed put me on some trail  
that worked.

The above fix is not appropriate as it will disable the autologin  
feature completely when x2goclient is in broker mode. That works for  
your setup, but is not a generic solution.

My approach is here:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe4408b12c982b81c56c52f37230865f4e9f41ea

@Alex: please cross-check. Thanks!

Greets,
Mike
