server (like my mail client or web browser) that permits only one instance at a time, and the X2Go session is already running such an instance. Or is there some way of moving a program from an X2Go session to the local display? (If there is, I expect it's not going to be any easier than manually killing the application, or simply terminating the entire X2Go session, and then restarting the program locally.)
So why don't you start X2GoClient on the local screen and connect to 127.0.0.1 (or ::1, if you fancy IPv6) to resume your session?
For the same reason I mentioned previously: because I need to run programs that allow only one concurrent instance. Consider what happens when I am running my web browser locally on my X2Go server, and then locally reconnect to a local X2Go session that is running my e-mail client. If I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail message, it will try (and fail) to launch a new instance of my web browser. As far as I know, the only solutions are to kill the local web browser and relaunch it within the X2Go session, or else kill the e-mail client and relaunch it locally. I usually just kill the entire X2Go session, since it's rare that the session is running anything other than the e-mail client.
If you know of a better way of dealing with this, I'd be happy to hear about it.
