I had a similar issue while connecting from X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.0 on
MS Windows to X2Go Server v. 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu14.04.1 on Linux
Mint 17.2 (using MATE session): the user was kicked back to the
session login screen.

The problem was in the .Xauthority* files in the user's home directory
on the server side. One of the files was owned by the root, which
was a problem.

The user solved the issue by running the following command on the X2Go server:

sudo rm ~/.Xauthority*

Hope this helps.
