The PuTTY keyfile is a different file format than what X2Go (being
originally a unix application) expects.

You can either convert the keyfile into the proper format (IIRC, there
are export options in PuTTYgen.exe), or use pageant.exe from Putty, load
the key there, and tell x2go to use an ssh-agent (which pageant.exe is)
instead of the keyfile.

Please note that you should use the latest x2goclient.exe (4.0.2.0) for
that, as there was a previous build where ssh agent authentication was
broken.
