I guess it fails in X2Go, because X2Go single applications use nxagent  
as their display (in rootless mode). The rootless NX windows then get  
displayed on the local X11 via nxproxy.

With ssh -X you don't encapsulate applications in a separate Xserver  
(NX agent), but connect the applications directly to the local X11  
server.

Greets,
Mike
