Hi Yohan,

Argh.. Sure... I missed that detail. Of course it needs a local  
X-Server. This is a pain for your use case.

I file my reply here as a wishlist bug.

The use case is: a feature where X2Go sessions could be launched  
without a local X-Server being necessary.

Actually, we could follow two approaches here. A server-side session  
trigger that gets called via a simple SSH connection (or via CRON on  
boot). The other option would be a pyhoca-cli that fires up the  
session from remote, but does not require a local X to be present.

For your use case the first will be more appropriate.

Greets,
Mike
