That is probably because you're not using the standard Ubuntu desktop.
Or are you?

When I run the Mate desktop then the problem does not exist. (I may
try the suggested openbox --replace in a virtualbox, centainly not
on my normal PC environments, at home, at work.)

That tells me there is a bug when the X2GO client is used from an Ubuntu
desktop. The question is, how can we find out where the bug is?

Again, I'm surprised that no X2GO user has seen this bug. It makes me
wonder if I'm the only one running X2GO from an Ubuntu desktop.
