[X2Go-User] X authorization issues

      I just tried this using the same client version, X2Go Client V. 4.0.3.2 
(Qt - 4.8.6), originating from a Ubuntu 14.10 system, and connecting to a
Debian Wheezy server and got a full working xfce desktop.

      The version of server on Wheezy is 
4.1.0.0-0x2go1.1~git20150403.1278+wheezy+hueler.1 so perhaps you may want to 
try updating your server to this version (the most recent) and see if that 
resolves your problem.

      If you need a test account to determine if it is an issue with your client 
side setup or server, let me know.
