What can be wrong? Why doesn't work X2Go over myssh keyfile? I would be happy if anybody can help me!
The PuTTY keyfile is a different file format than what X2Go (being originally a unix application) expects.
You can either convert the keyfile into the proper format (IIRC, there are export options in PuTTYgen.exe), or use pageant.exe from Putty, load the key there, and tell x2go to use an ssh-agent (which pageant.exe is) instead of the keyfile.
Please note that you should use the latest x2goclient.exe (4.0.2.0) for that, as there was a previous build where ssh agent authentication was broken.

Well said Stefan.
This is X2Go bug 290.
I added a comment to bug 290 with full instructions on converting the key file: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=290\
