Most of the session manipulation happens via the X2Go Server node's x2gocleansessions daemon script. The x2golistsessions command (evoked by x2gobroker-agent), which triggers the observed bug, does not necessarily need access to the session state file. If it can gain access, it will check the session state, and update the session DB, if the DB value differs from the actual state in the session state file (the session state file should be more up-to-date). If we omit this DB update in x2golistsessions, we need to rely on a working x2gocleansessions daemon, which should still be enough. Thus, I will test for the existence of the state file in x2golistsessions first and then execute the DB update code. If there is no session state file, we should be clear, as well (and need to rely on x2gocleansessions on the X2Go Server nodes).
