You need to install Mate on the Debian server, it does not come pre-installed. Mint, a Debian fork does have a spin (Mint-Mate) with Mate pre-installed but they've crippled so much of the OS that I wouldn't recommend it.
Install Mate on your existing Debian server, it's about a 10 secondoperation:

Hi,
I have just succesfully installed x2go 4.0.1.19, both server and client are Debian Linux machines. According to the documentation Mate (which I run on server) is fully supported, however the drop-down field Session Type on client has no Mate entry. How can choose it?
Thanks, Tad
