No, I am launching the XServer from within the Python X2go API:
https://svn.das-netzwerkteam.de/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=x2go&path=%2Fpython%2Fpython-x2go%2Ftrunk%2Fx2go%2Fxserver.py

The hardcoded XServer configuration can be found in the defaults.py  
file (see dictionary/hash X2GO_CLIENTXCONFIG_DEFAULTS):
https://svn.das-netzwerkteam.de/websvn/filedetails.php?repname=x2go&path=%2Fpython%2Fpython-x2go%2Ftrunk%2Fx2go%2Fdefaults.py

OK, apart from the logging my start command is similar. I have also  
tried -swcursor, but vcxsrv always fails in -multiwindow mode. I'll  
have to try with other X applications apart from nxproxy/x2goagent  
(i.e. test with local xcalc etc.)

I tell the XServer which port to use, so my mechanism is slightly  
different. However, this will probably a topic of change in further  
Python X2go versions.

Greets & thanks,
Mike
