Thanks for the pointers. Good to know but seems not to be an issue in my 
system. The 'xhost +' call seems to be absent. My system might be too old.

Yes, I have read about that but this is a little different, I think. I 
have noticed that resizing does not work as expected but I have got 
along by changing resolution in System Settings -> Displays. But now 
there is not big enough geometry to go full screen.

I tried XFCE and yes, resizing works and I can go full screen alright. 
Interestingly, what I'm used to do with GNOME doesn't work with XFCE. If 
I change resolutions in Settings-> Display, the size of the X2Go window 
changes but the size of the XFCE desktop does not.

In display settings XFCE shows 2560x1440. Why GNOME settings doesn't?
