sigh... Neverending story. This might be related to the internal
clipboard manager in kde. As I don't know every kde version around
please research how to disable that for your version.

Do you have a strict procedure to trigger this behaviour?

Does it start workin again when you suspend the session?

Since nx-libs 3.5.99.24 we have a keystroke for dumping the clipboard
state. Please check if it is active in /etc/x2go/keystrokes, look for
line similar to this:
<keystroke action="dump_clipboard" Control="1" Shift="1" AltMeta="1" key="c" />

If not, add it. The either suspend/resume the session or press the
"reread keystrokes" keystroke.

When the situation happens again please press the configured keystroke
and send me the server side log ~/.x2go/.../session.log. There's no
clipboard content in the log but you can double check if in doubt ;-)
