Your test results fully match my experiences with PyHoca-GUI.

Configurability is great! (that is a +1 for me for this last option).

In PyHoca-GUI I already do that. I have introduced a x2config  
configuration file in ~/.x2goclient (without discussing it before). I  
drop this in now and maybe you like it and we find a common solution  
for XServer configuration on Windows.

Greetings,
Mike
