I am inclined to close this bug unless you have more info. Even if you user as /bin/dash as default shell, the x2goagent.options file should be sourced by bash. Interesting. Please keep it open for now; I will check back with the affected user. For some reason, their session wasn't picking up the x2goagent.options, and they had /bin/dash as their default shell.
The user says that not the individual accounts' shell was set to /bin/dash, but the system-wide default shell. And changing it to /bin/bash fixed the issue for them. Grepping through the X2Go code, I found several instances where /bin/sh is used (/usr/sbin/x2golistsessions_root, /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions, /usr/bin/x2gopath, /usr/bin/x2gobasepath, /etc/init.d/x2goserver, /usr/bin/x2goprint). There is also a match in the /usr/bin/x2goagent binary.
Could it be that x2gostartagent itself is being called in a way that skips the shebang line? (e.g. "/bin/sh -c /usr/bin/x2gostartagent")
Ouch! Good point. We should look at x2goclient debugging output and check how X2Go Client launches x2gostartagent. IIRC, it use such a call as you mentioned above....
