No, I don't think it is an OS X problem because when I ssh into the same servers directly from OS X then Ctrl-s works fine, emacs sessions work as expected for example.

And no, I am not confusing the Ctrl key with the apple Cmd key.

I am not a linux expert by any means, but I am wondering if this has something to do with flow control, ie XON/XOFF. Perhaps x2go is not sending Ctrl-s to the server so that XOFF is not sent to the server?

I hope someone can help me with this.

Regards

Chris

Are you sure that problem is related to X2Go? Maybe something on OS X is
hooking those keycodes and they never get send? Likewise, maybe a
desktop environment is catching them?

You have been careful not to confuse Ctrl and Cmd, right?
