There should be two approaches...

  1) disable clipboard server-side for all users
  2) disable clipboard in X2Go Client / PyHoca-GUI on the client-side

The first is easy. Please look at /usr/bin/x2gostartagent of  
x2goserver package and make clipboard configurable via  
/etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf. Send a patch to our BTS [1].

The second approach is for us devs, I guess...

The workaround provided by Mike#2 is a fine approach, but not a real  
solution to this problem.
