I cannot confirm that this setting change in sshd_config is necessary.  
I just tested Ubuntu precise with X2Go and server logins were  
successful with x2goclient and pyhoca-gui without the above change  
being applied.

Please check your setup again and remove the part in the wiki that  
suggests the above named change. Or explain in more detail why you  
think this is necessary. Let's track this down fully, so we get a  
clearer sight on what is happening here.

Thanks for reporting this. This indeed may have been a bug in  
x2goruncommand. My patch is currently being discussed on the x2go-dev  
ML:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=c13ffe1cb2c39edfacab52bc62e278469da19c9e

With the given patch applied, the x2goserver-xsession package becomes  
optional again. Packages for testing will be available in the  
nightly-builds soon.

So basically, I think, we should remove this part from the wiki again,  
as well. But before doing that, we have to wait for acceptance of my  
patch by the other developers.

Greets,
Mike
