I wasn't looking to start a "shadow" session to access existing session. I just needed to use some software that was installed on that machine so fresh session worked fine. I will try the "extensions" approach for testing and will stick with a separate user scenario for main needs in future. Thank you.

What exactly are you doing, anyway? It seems like you are starting a shadow session, i.e., connect to the already running "local" X server on the server machine?
The DPI setting in X2Go Client controls the private X server's - i.e., nxagent's
- DPI value. There's a caveat though, in the sense that desktop environments can and most likely will overwrite that.
The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem to be a good fix.
X2Go provides support for hooks via its "extensions" support. I guess it's not properly documented anywhere yet, but the basic idea is to put scripts into /usr/lib/x2go/extensions/. The "targets" in there are sort-of self-explanatory.
N.B.: the amount of "targets" available may differ between release and nightly versions.
All this said, I think a separate user is the "cleanest" and best-working idea.
