In addition to what Mihai said, we can also modify the behavior of
x2goserver to launch /usr/bin/start-q4os-x2go supposed if the user
selects "TRINITY" in x2goclient, but x2goserver detects that it is
running on Q4OS.

We are already launching different GNOME and UNITY commands depending
upon what Linux distro you are using.

This is the x2goruncommand bash script in x2goserver 4.0.1.19. Our
lines for launching trinity are 197 & 198. Our lines for launching
GNOME or Unity are 93 through 167 (including comments & whitespace).
You don't need to read through all those lines; just note that we have
flexibility in x2goserver.
