I think it might be the client version that's causing the problem.
4.1.1.0 introduced a fix for Bug 592 [0], but, in doing so, broke other
things related to Kerberos, as reported in Bug 1258 [1] and (hopefully)
fixed in 4.1.2.0.

The current stable release of X2GoClient for (Ubuntu) Linux is 4.1.2.1.
This version is available from the X2Go stable PPA, which you can
activate by running

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable
sudo apt update

on the client.  After that,

sudo apt upgrade

or

sudo apt install x2goclient

should pull in the new version.

You're probably on a stock Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, without the X2Go PPA, and
stock Ubuntu currently only ships 4.1.1.1, that's why you're likely
hitting the issue.

So please let me know if upgrading to 4.1.2.1 from the X2Go stable PPA
fixes the issue for you; if not ...

... I can try to create a test setup maybe this weekend, but no promises
on that.

Too bad. :( So let's hope 4.1.2.1 fixes things for you.

Kind Regards,
