Hi Promox,

Sorry to hear that you ran into this bug.

Were you using X2Go Client for Windows?

I reproduced it yesterday with X2Go Client for Windows
4.0.3.2-20150301. It appears that this occurs when the server does not
have an ecdsa 256-bit key. Some Linux distros generate one by default,
others do not.

The workaround is to generate such a key:
sudo ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N '' -t ecdsa -b 256

I think this is a bug in terms of how x2goclient uses libssh
