From experience, if you ever want to get your customers/clients running away screaming... introduce them to Java in any form and Classpath Hell.
From my perspective... No thanks on the Java! I'm sure there must be other simpler ways to implement.

openssh's ProxyCommand needs an external tool which does the proxy connect (with auth if required). so the x2go plugin must know proxy ip, proxy port and, if required, proxy user and pass. i dont know if this information is available to an firefox addon (i hope not specially for the auth stuff ;)).
maybe it is easier to use some kind of java browser plugin to create a local socket to listen on and forward this socket (via browser proxy settings/HTTP CONNECT) to the x2goserver. this way it should be possible to use the browser proxy settings (if java is configured this way -> Java Control Panel). x2goclient could connect to this socket (localhost:someport) without doing any proxy related stuff.
however this will only work if ssh is listening on port 443 on x2goserver because most proxies only allow HTTP CONNECT on port 443.

I don't understand. x2goclient *already* uses ssh, and can be configured to forward all sound etc. over ssh as well.
You need to forward ssh traffic through an ssh proxy? Why? That is inefficient - can't you just make the remote server visible on some port?
I am connecting from LAN hidden by an http proxy. I.e. it is not possible to simply "ssh -p 443 x2goserver.com", but the connection must be passed through a proxy at "some.local.proxy.address" at port 8080 (the proxy is without authentication).
Putty allows for proxy setup. I also checked the man page of ssh, it has an option "ProxyCommand", which would probably be "connect some.local.proxy.address 8080\n".
So the question probably is how to incorporate that ssh option into x2go plugin.
