  I've got kind of a strange situation I'm hoping someone might be able to

help me troubleshoot.

  I've got a Ubuntu 14.04 server with a variety of Desktops including

KDE, Xfce, and Mate.

  From my Ubuntu 14.10 Linux box, I can use X2go to connect to the Ubuntu

server using any of the above. However, from a Mac running Yosimite 10.10.3, X2go just gets a black screen on the Ubuntu server using exactly the same account that works from my Ubuntu workstation. The Mac however can use the Mate desktop just fine.

  This kind of breaks my normal troubleshooting paradigm of substitute

components until you determine which one is defective because in this case, the Mac works with Mate but not xfce, my Ubuntu box works with both.

  If the Mac was bad, it should be broken for both desktops I would think.

If the xfce installation or x2go server was broken, it should be broken for both the Mac and my Linux box.

  On the Mac when you login using xfce you just got a black screen (like

you would using a Desktop with a compositing window manager) but it works fine from my Ubuntu box so that's not the issue.

Do the session settings differ?

If they don't... comparing debug logs of x2goclient, x2goserver and ~/.xsession-x2go-errors between Ubuntu and OS X are your best bet.

Not sure that will be fruitful, though.
