Can you cross-check the observed problem with latest X2Go Client [1]???

Can you launch X2Go Client from a terminal on Mac OS X and use a tool=20=20
like=20strace (if that exists) and check its output for pointers to=20=20
file-not-found=20errors?

That would be really helpful for tracking down this issue.
