We haven't done a lot of work with the Mac clients but here are some
notes we made to ourselves a while back:

The X2Go Mac client uses the OSX X11 server.  The X11 server must be
configured to accept remote sessions in its preferences.  One must also
enable a root screen in X11 preferences if one wants truly full screen
view in X2Go.
To use print, local media sharing, and sound, one must also enable
Remote Login in the System Preferences.

Nope ;)  That's the problem.  One cannot currently connect an x2goclient
to an x2goserver on the same system.
