On a Linux client all these folders are stored in .x2go. This is the  
.x2go user config dir. For me this is sufficient as a dot-directory.  
Within .x2go the developers should be free of choice on how to handle  
file naming... (There is no reason for having a dot-dir ,,.ssh''  
cascaded within a dot-dir ,,.x2go''

Your suggestion can only be a workaround... Proper config file  
handling should be done by the code of the server/client packages.

Keeping locks for forensics is sensible, this might need a config  
switch somewhere (server as well as client...).
