The main reason for my problem was that I did not generate the SSH keys
consistently.
The information on the X2Go web site and in the flyer I got at the CLT
2014 (which actually motivated me to try x2go) is in respect to the
generation of the keys (at least for me as a first time user of x2go)
not sufficient.

To solve the problem I threw out all generated keys (user on server,
user on remote client) and followed the description in

Michael W. Lucas: SSH Mistery (ISBN 9781470069711)

Now I have the various types of keys on both machines. And with the
correct settings in the session profile everything works, even
automatically.

Thanks for your hints.
