X2Go Client used to presume /bin/bash as the server-side user shell.  
But that has been fixed (I hope) completely. Now server-side commands  
are like ,,sh -c ....''. Same with Python X2Go.

My guess about the reported issue is a broken command call in X2Go  
Client somewhere. But for this to detect, I need someone who observes  
the issue with X2Go Client (4.0.1.1 or newer, version is important,  
not yet released) and posts the debug output (x2goclient --debug).

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
