The bad news:
I can confirm that X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1+hotfix+build6 (and
all prior versions/builds) ARE AFFECTED by this bug and ARE UNABLE to
connect to a Debian Jessie server with openssh-server 6.7p1-2 (from
sid) installed. Said version of X2go Client for Windows bundles and
uses libssh 0.5.5.

The good news:
I can confirm that X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.3.0 nightly builds
(mingw 4.8 tested) ARE NOT AFFECTED by this bug and ARE ABLE to
connect to a Debian Jessie server with openssh-server 6.7p1-2 (from
sid) installed. Said version of X2Go Client bundles and uses libssh
0.6.3.

See bug #590 for the details on X2Go Client for Windows having libssh
upgraded to 0.6.x during 4.0.3.0's development cycle.
