Hello Hanno,
X11 does not have a reconnect feature for clients. When the X server dies, they die, too. So I am not really sure what you are describing by "reconnect". In case you close your laptop the network connection will go down. The x2goagent will notice after some time that the other side (the laptop) is not answering/sending data anymore and will detect a DISPLAY failure (since the remote X server is not available anymore) and suspend the session.
If you have configured sleep=0 then your applications (meaning Xclients running on the server side, connecting to the x2goagent) will not notice any change as the x2goagent is still there, otherwise they will be slowed down until x2goagent is woken up again by an x2goclient that wants to connect.
I am not aware of an auto connect mechanism once the network is back but on the other hand I am not deeply involved with the internals of x2goclient and/or x2goserver.

Hello,
I'm running a few always connected GUI applications on a server in an x2go session. This usually works fine, especially when I manually disconnect x2goclient after work (I have set X2GO_NXOPTIONS="sleep=0" in x2goagent.options).
But when the x2go connection fails unexpectedly, e.g. because of network issues, or because I suspend my laptop without disconnecting x2go first, my GUI applications get stalled until they disconnect most of the time. After 2 minutes or somesuch they reconnect and keep running. I guess this is because the x2go server session waits for the x2go client to come back, and only disconnects (and keeps running in the disconnected state) after some timeout.
I would like to know if this timeout can be configured somewhere. I would prefer to have to reconnect my client more often, instead of having the mentioned GUI applications reconnect.
Thanks in advance.
