Am I getting something wrong here? You have an X2go session where
program X is running and you need to run program X again which is not
possible because it is running within the x2go session. So instead of
connecting to the session and continuing to use the running instance
of program X you kill the whole session and start a new one where you
again start programX? Why?

Reconnecting to running sessions is one of the core purposes of X2go (or NX).
