I don't think it is a vcxsrv.exe crash. Probably a bug in nxproxy
(running on the client) or nxagent (running on the server.) nxproxy
interacts with VcXsrv, so minimizing VcXsrv could trigger an nxproxy
bug.

You can enable debug output for the client by installing the debug
build, and then launching x2goclient.exe with the --debug argument.
This will cause log info to be outputted to stdout/stderr.
This is the current released debug build:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build4/non-default-builds/x2goclient-4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build4-debug-setup.exe
I recommend launching xgoclient.exe with "--debug" from the command
prompt. This will make it easier for you to copy and paste the output
to a file/email.
Also, right click on the command prompt title bar, select
"properties", and increase the "screen buffer size" width to like 400.

For the server, edit /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf and set:
loglevel=debug

IIRC, in addition to causing more output to be logged to syslog, it
will also cause the per-session log files to be kept, rather than
deleted at the end of the session. For example, on my server, there is
the symlink:
/home/mike/.x2go/C-mike-319-1410831069_stDGNOME_dp32/session.log
which points to:
/tmp/.x2go-mike/session-C-mike-319-1410831069_stDGNOME_dp32.log
