I'm trying to run a remote X-session on a satellite link. The ping latency is typically 800ms.

Is there some connection timeout parameter that I could increase to make it possible to use high latency links? Is this fixed in newer versions?
Brent, there currently is no such option in the GUI.
Seeing as you posted from your employer's E-Mail address, may I suggest you ask your employer if they might want to sponsor researching whether or not X2Go can be made to work over high-latency links, and adding a timeout/keepalive feature to the GUI, if it turns out to be possible?
<shameless plug> X2Go also has a commercial side, where various companies - including my own - offer support contracts with guaranteed response times as well as consultancy and paid-for development work if someone wants to see a bug fixed or a new feature added in a certain time frame. What makes my company special is, IMHO:
- I'm the current X2Go Project/Community Coordinator, so the development lead and the developers tend to listen to me.
- As far as I know, we are the only company providing X2Go support that isn't a one-man-show. Oh, and we already have US customers.
- We sub-contract other developers from the X2Go community on demand, so you only have one person you need to talk to - me - and you will only receive one invoice, even if the task involved several freelance or part-time X2Go developers.
Our hourly rate for consultancy work and fixing issues outside of a support contract is 125 EUR. With a support contract, you get guaranteed response times and lower hourly rates if you buy a certain amount of hours in advance. </shameless plug>
