Sorry, maybe I've missed this message.

Sorry, I don't know.

X2go is using the NX libraries from Nomachine. These libraries have a
complete (changed) embedded copy of Xorg inside, maybe without the X11
extention. I know you can change some things on it, e.g. with shortcuts:

But I think some things are possible with arguments too.

I would search the site of Nomachine to find more information about it:

Not sure you will find...
