Pretty quick, thanks .. the most preferred way to install X2Go Server in 
Q4OS is to use specific installer from 'Software Centre'. It will add 
debian-baikal repos and install X2Go Server from. We instructs our 
customers to set 'start-q4os-x2go' as 'Custom' command in Session 
preferences in X2Go Client now. It works perfectly for Trinity/Q4OS.

So the new feature could be accessible for most Q4OS users after 
transition into the new Server's branch, when baikal lifetime cycle will 
finish.
