Well, nx-wise (nx is the underlying technology) the option is read at
startup or resume.

I am not sure if x2go is reading the option on resume, too, to pass it
down to nx. I'd need to check this.

If you run on suspend/resume cycle after adding the option you can
check if it has reached the nx layer by checking the options file in
~/.x2go/<session>/options. If the sleep option is visible there and
still not working you have hit an nx bug.

BTW: how do you determine if you apps are sleeping?
