Stefan,
THanks for the quick and helpful reply, I appreciate it!  As for my
problem, I ended up killing off and restarting my session on the
CentOS system.  I didn't have the time to debug, but if it happens
again, I'll do the --no-autoresume and see if it's a per-session
problem, or a system level problem.

Looking at the debug logs for x2goclient, I didn't really see anything
major.  Nor did I see anything in the logs on the server side which
really helped.  But something was messed up with the mouse and screen
refreshes for sure.

John
