In my tests I have changed the _first_ entry in the options file, the one without the +. Does that make any difference for you?
It does not make any difference about the session suspension issue if I either set "-options" alone (without the +=) or with any combination of the other occurences in the file /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options
mimebox and tools are not created in the x2go session folder (/tmp/.x2go-user/<session>). This side effect is kind of worse for us.
Can you please explain in detail? I am wondering what is happening here.
The problem that I get when adding the/setting the -option switch is that I cannot suspend the session any more (e.g. the x2gosuspend-session command does not suspend the session) and I'm getting the following line every 2 seconds in the log:
/usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions[1115]: <user>-50-1542963751_stDXFCE_dp32: state file for this session does not exist: /tmp/.x2go-<user>/C-<user>-50-1542963751_stDXFCE_dp32/state (this can be ignored during session startups)
I also have some files missing as I stated previously (clients, keyboard, state) which I think is linked somehow to the issue.
You can also try - instead of using the non-obvious setting in x2goagent.setting - to adapt x2gostartagent on the server to integrate that option into the generated options file.
Do you mean I should wrap a script around the x2gostartagent executable? Or is there an configuration file somewhere that I can use?

This is indeed peculiar. Are you sure, not syntax error is involved
in x2goagent.options. Note that the mimebox folder is used only by
Python X2Go, if you use X2Go Client, you can simply ignore its
non-existent.
I have only 2 lines uncommented on this file, and I checked several times, so I don't think there is any syntax error.
For tracking this down, you need to provide some debug output of the
X2Go Server side. Also, let us know, if you use X2Go Client or PyHoca-CLI or -GUI on the client-side. If you use PyHoca-*, run it with "--libdebug" on a cmd line and
provide the debug output. If you use X2Go Client, you can use the --debug switch, but beware... it will reveal user passwords, so don't send that unedited to a public mailing list!
We are using the X2Go client, I will try to grab the debug version and run it.

See https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1322 for my proposal for addressing this on the server side. I believe by adding the line above you are messing up many of the default options. According to the man page of nxagent:
-options filename path to an options file containing nx/nx options (seebelow).
Thanks for the suggestion. I barely have time to debug the issue, I'm afraid having to patch and compile anything will be too time consuming. I guess I'll wait for nightly builds if the patch is considered for inclusion in the project.
