Check of you have a clipboard manager running and disable it.
I don't run anything like that normally, but I have this feeling that virt-viewer does something that might resemble a clipboard manager so it can capture the selection and send the info about it into the virtual machine. I know the virtual machine needs to be running an "agent" service to talk to the outside world via a virtual serial port (or something like that, anyway - I'm very fuzzy on the details :-).
Of course I'm also fuzzy on the details about how x2go deals with selections, so that's fuzzy squared :-).

Well, I sometimes use virt-manager via nx, but I have not tried using cut'n'paste there. I have no access to that environment currently, so I cannot check.
Due to a bug in Ubuntu around 2012 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr/+bug/985202) x2go had disabled XFIXES in the default settings for some time. So maybe this is disablement is still valid in your environment. Please check /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options. This should NOT be in there:
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension XFIXES"
You can also check this inside your session by running xdpyinfo | grep XFIXES.

ACK! Looks like the point has become moot. Some recent update (no doubt to gtk) has made it impossible to run virt-manager or virt-viewer under x2go on my fedora 24 system. With or without XFIXES, the windows won't come up at all now.
I hate when that happens :-).

After a diversion to fix libepoxy:

I was able to try running a virtual machine under an x2go session with the XFIXES line commented out, and by golly, cut & paste works now! Thanks!

Thanks for working that out!
