I ran into this today on Ubuntu 14.04 and wanted to just post some updates I found after digging around a bit. Essentially, this doesn’t look like anything X2Go can fix. Since version 3.8, gnome-session refuses to start without 3D acceleration, which isn’t possible over an X2Go session. Unless there’s some workaround added to allow gnome-session without hardware acceleration, we’re probably out of luck. One workaround is to use xfce instead. I haven’t tried this yet myself, but I expect it would probably work fine.
Here are a couple of links with details:

Addendum:
This is part of the "ps ax" output on one of the affected machines:
2563 pts/2 S+ 0:00 apt-get upgrade -y
4958 pts/1 S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend
/var/lib/dpkg/info/x2goserver.postinst configure 4.0.1.13-0x2go1+
4962 pts/1 Z+ 0:00 [x2goserver.post] <defunct>
5004 pts/1 S+ 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions
manually killing x2gocleansessions (" kill $(pidof x2gocleansessions)")
seems to be a workaround, but still, we need a real fix in the form of
an updated package.

Von: Panayotis Katsaloulis <panayotis(a)panayotis.com>

Hello all!
I have installed x2go, I can connect - everything is fine.
In the past I think there was a problem when I tried to launch a client
(as xterm session), and which I was unable to properly close, so I
forced close it.
The problem is that I am unable to upgrade through apt-get upgrade though.
Now when I try to upgrade I get this message:
Processing triggers for menu (2.1.46) ...
Setting up x2goserver (4.0.1.14-0x2go1+git20140402.842+wheezy.main.1) ...
Group x2gouser already exists.
User x2gouser already exists.
[info] Cleaning up stale X2Go sessions..
… and the screen remains like this forever.
The uname -a command produces the following result:
Linux danube 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.7-1 (2014-03-25) x86_64
GNU/Linux
Any help?
