Are you using X2Go-TCE (our ThinClientEdition) for this? If so, you
might want to check out X2Go-TCE-MMD (MateMiniDesktop). This is more of
a hybrid, than a thin client. It has a local desktop and browser, thus
allowing you to run videoconferencing sessions locally. For your remote
applications, you would then use "Published Applications" instead of one
of the regular Desktop Environments. I'll admit that it's not production
ready yet, though.

I can assure you that X2GoClient works just fine on a Raspberry Pi model
*3*. So either it's something particular to the model 4 or it's an issue
with the Ubuntu server side.

Just a wild guess: The Pi 4 has an option to use a KMS driver, and in
raspi-config, there's an option to turn this new mode on and off.  I
would try turning it off to see if maybe it's a display issue
(X2GoClient being unable to open the display).
See
<https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/raspi-config.md> -
I'd try setting it to "Legacy". Probably requires a reboot.
