[X2Go-User] X2go server does not work correctly when installed after nomachine nxserver 3.5.x

[Robert Dinse]

      I've run into this, it can be something in their .profile or .bashrc
causing issues.  Try just moving those files out of the way and if it fixes
it then move one at a time to determine which then examine the file for
anyhing that might explode if not attached to a terminal for example.  Or
comment out half the file, try it, comment out half of whaterver portion
is broken (i.e. a binary search).
