Dear x2go users,
I find that if I have chromium running in the server, any attempt to open chromium in the x2go client session will result in a new window of the browser been opened in the server. Does anybody now how can avoid this?
server side: ubuntu 16.04, x2go 4.0.1.20 client side: windows 10, x2go 4.0.5.1 (Qt 4.8.6)

I don't have a solution for this, but it seems to be a bad habit that chromium shares with libreoffice/openoffice. If you run multiple X2Go sessions under the same user account, all libreoffice/openoffice windows will open in the session where you opened the first libreoffice/openoffice window.
IRRC, it is a long-standing known bug for LO/OO, but no one there has bothered to fix it. Maybe the chromium developers will respond faster?
Do you think you could reproduce it with multiple ssh -X sessions, so the chromium devs won't blame X2Go and tag it WONTFIX?
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur

you're right in that it's not a X2Go issue. I got a workaround by creating a browsing profile in another directory than the default one ( ~/.config/chromium):
mkdir -p /tmp/chromium chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/tmp/chromium
I now have a "local" profile, and a "remote" profile that I use if loggin through X2Go.
