Found my answer (note: the x2go FAQ says to remove kscreen.  This is a non-
starter (would remove many other dependent packages).  Here's the correct 
answer:

Hi,

unfortunately, I don't think there is a easy way to solve this. 

In general, this is not a bug. Using two applications that handle display 
resolution is not supported, as it can lead to many unexpectable situations and 
race conditions.

In your case I would suggest you disable KScreen KDED module (System Settings -> 
Startup and Shutdown -> Service Manager, uncheck "KScreen 2"), since x2go 
handles resolution switches for you and only use the KScreen KCM to manually 
change output settings (rotation, enabling/disabling outputs etc).
