Isn't there another issue if the client gets the same display number
from both servers?   Something that is likely if you are the first or
only connection to two different servers...  With freenx I always
randomized the DISPLAY_BASE setting on the servers to minimize that
issue but I think the equivalent in x2goserver is buried in one of the
scripts.
