I've seen this when running with the AMD catalyst graphics driver, although it certainly doesn't rule it out in other conditions as well.
What I did to fix it in my case is to set the resolution in a terminal window with the xrandr command (http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man1/xrandr.1.html). Once I did that, the x2go desktop window displayed correctly on every subsequent session.
I'm merely speculating, but it seems that if your remote host's Xserver is pushing a particular resolution, nothing you ask X2Go to do will make a difference. Until you reduce the resolution on the display itself, X2Go will be forced to use the resolution that the XServer tells it to use.

I tried selecting 'display xxx' option, but this acted as full screen. It took the entire display on my client, not leaving me with any way to switch displays on my client. I'm using kde (both server and client). I need access the the kde 'panel' at the screen bottom. I want x2go to take all the display real estate, except the panel at the bottom.
What option should I use?
