Well... this coin has two sides, as always.

X2Go Server's Xsession script sources ${HOME}/.profile. The "default"
Xsession script provided in Debian as /etc/X11/Xsession does not. On the
other hand, GDM, LightDM and other login managers would have been
running into the same problem and not been able to start any desktop
environment, because they all also source ~/.profile.

Doing questionable stuff in ~/.*profile or ~/.*rc will always lead to
problems. But putting that on the wiki is like adding "Deleting
/etc/passwd might cause problems with X2Go" there. It sure will - but
that's not an insulated X2Go problem.
