When using the Windows X2Go client on an unreliable network, I regularly receive the message “The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection”. I am forced to reconnect to my X2Go session, but a PuTTY connection to the same server typically continues to work without interruption once the network comes back a few moments later.
I assume that X2Go is actively checking the state of the connection, in a similar way to OpenSSH’s ServerAliveCountMax/ServerAliveInterval configuration options. Is there any way to switch this functionality off in X2Go?

The proxy has an option to provide a timeout:
timeout=t Specify the keep-alive timeout used by proxies to determine if there is a network problem preventing communication with the remote peer. A value of 0 disables the check.
However, I am currently unaware how to instruct x2goclient to pass that down to nxproxy.
