[X2Go-User] X authorization issues

      My Debian Wheezy server is pretty generic other than a custom kernel,
and what I've done to the kernel really shouldn't affect x2go's ability
to function except functioning a little faster.

      I would suggest enabling debug logging per the Wiki:

 	http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:debugging

      Try to make a connection, then look at the logs to see if there is
anything telling there.

      Also, can you bring up an xfce desktop locally on the machine?
