I agree that we shouldn't try to fix what obviously isn't broken on our 
side, however, we could try to check for the issue and provide a clear 
error message as to what is wrong.

I don't know what programming language the particular part of x2goserver 
is written in, but I would hope that something like this is possible in 
it (pseudocode):

StrippedUsername = strip_non_ascii(Username)
if StrippedUsername != Username {
	report_error('Username does not conform to POSIX conventions.')
	exit
}
