Have there been any further developments regarding the problem of Emacs crashing when run over x2go?
Apparently this problem still exists, and is caused by the GTK+ bug described at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715>. Here are the various workarounds I know about:
Run Emacs in text mode (emacs -nw). This is fine if you don't need pull-down menus, mouse support, etc.
Run Emacs over SSH instead of over x2go (ssh -f MYHOST emacs). On a fast connection, this is fine if you're just editing text. If you need to launch graphics-intensive programs such as web browsers or PDF viewers, etc., then this should be done separately from an x2go session rather than directly from Emacs.
Use a version of Emacs compiled with a different X toolkit, such as Lucid. You can compile such an Emacs yourself by passing --with-x-toolkit=lucid to the configure script. Some GNU/Linux distribution provide binary packages for this:
In Fedora, use the emacs-lucid package.
In openSUSE, the default emacs package includes both the GTK+ and Lucid versions. To use the Lucid version, call Emacs as follows: EMACS_TOOLKIT=x11 emacs
