I was connecting with session type "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE. This worked very well in terms of lag/speed. Following your reply I changed to "session type "connect to local desktop)" and the permission issue did not appear anymore, however, there was a significant lag when working with the user interface - unusable really.
Well, I think I need to clarify something here: a) connecting with "Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session. b) connecting with "local desktop" will _connect_ to the running X-Server (usually :0) which is slower due to the way it works.
According to your description it works with type b) but not with a). I think in a session a) type you need to the environment to enable access the type b) session running in parallel.
Unfortunately I do not have the environment available to test this in detail.
So it would be great if I could still connect with the more "speedy" option "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE, but solve the privilige issue. Or do you have another solution? Thanks
P.S.: How come X2go does not have a user forum?
We have several mailing lists. As we are constantly struggling with (human) resources there are no plans to add a forum. As far as I can see most of the administrating members prefer mailing lists over clumsy web forums anyway.

Dear Ulrich and developers Thank you for your reply. So as discussed option a) connecting with "Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session and results in permission prompts, which are not the case with option b. Most users I believe would like to feel as if they are sitting in front of their machine, hence this behaviour undermines this goal.
Any idea how a user could still connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE, but solve the privilige issues? Thanks

Yes, you need to adapt the polkit configuration but I don't know what exactly needs to be done. Some links that might point into the right direction:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html (search for "local") https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/96054/non-root-user-cannot-control-... https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12402 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit
Sunweaver has been dealing with polkit stuff recently but he's on vacation so we cannot ask ATM. I'll set him on cc:
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Uli
