[X2Go-User] x2goserver can support mutliple clients?

It seems to be a new "feature" to only allow one session of one type per
user.

So, as well as changing user, you can also get a 2nd session by changing
the session type, to MATE say.

The new "feature" is not an x2go restriction. It's something to do with
session management in the OS.

This is my experience with Fedora 24. In Fedora 22 you could have two (at
least) XFCE sessions going. I never tried Fedora 23.
