Oh, wait a second . . . Ubuntu.  Does Ubuntu still use dash as the
default shell? If I recall correctly, there are some calls in the X2Go
scripts that work in bash but fail in dash.  If you change the symbolic
link /bin/sh to point to /bin/bash instead of /bin/dash, does it work? 

I would also suggest to the devs to change the scripts to use
#!/bin/bash rather than #!/bin/sh as the scripts do invoke bash specific
statements - John
