I've seen this on several servers, haven't checked all of them yet,
but the last one clearly says:

# Enforce clipboard behaviour in X2Go sessions globally (for all
connecting clients)
# Possible values for the -clipboard option: both, server, client, none
# If this option stays commented out, clients can choose the sessions'
clipboard behaviour...
#X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -clipboard both"

so it's in its default state, I guess.
Also, I never consciously disabled that feature on any of those servers.

Will check that later.

Funny:
I just tried 4.0.3.2, where it seems to work fine, then I switched to
4.0.5.0 and - it worked there, too.  But it hasn't been working all
day yesterday with 4.0.5.0, on the same machine.
So maybe something isn't initialized properly, and when firing up the
old client first, it happens and remains that way?

Will investigate further.
