Hi Robert,
switching to x2go-user context as being OT on x2go-project.

Can't figure out where mate has start up scripts. The mate-session start up is a binary. There is an /etc/mate/xrandr directory with
no contents and no man page. It does not source .bashrc or .profile.
On Debian and Ubuntu machines, we inject some MATE branding in
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/, basically by injecting another path into
$XDG_DATA_DIRS (/usr/share/mate).
In that directory, you can find some tweaks for default applications
and such (debian-mate-default-settings or ubuntu-mate-default-settings
by package name).
For autostarting applications, MATE strictly follow the XDG specs by
freedesktop.org.
Hope that helps, Mike (with his Debian MATE maintainer hat on)

A more simple way would be to create a script in ~/bin/, for instance called "resize.sh" with this content:
#!/bin/sh sleep 30s xrandr -s 1680x1050
(Maybe you'll need to adjust the sleeping time, but that's for your experimentation.)
Then make sure it's executable via "chmod +x ~/bin/resize.sh".
Then use System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications in MATE and then add a new entry calling this script exactly.

This works for the host machines that no customers login to but not forthe guest machines that are used by many customers with different screen dimensions.
