Oleksandr is correct - two separate users connected to two separate X2Go
servers.  I can do the initial connection but, within a few seconds, the
first session times out.  I've seen this myself on Debian and Windows XP
and another tester confirmed it on Windows 7 64 bit.  I'll try to dig
out more details.  Thanks very much for investigating - John
