After I have adjusted the Sabayon Configuration on Ubuntu 10.04 (there are a few differences between Sabayon on Fedora and Sabayon on Ubuntu), i have make a test with the „Nomachine NX-Free Edition“ (not FreeNX) and it works indeed. Now I'm searching for the solution with X2GO.

Hello John,

thanks a lot for your quickly and helpful reply. 

The solution for the problem is realy simple. As you write, I change the
settings in the first tab of the GTK-Client.

Here is the solution for the described issue.
- replace "Gnome" with "Other Desktop-Environment"
- write into the commandline "/etc/X11/Xsession" 

and it works fantastic :)))

Thanks for your help !!!!

Best regards
Stefan
