[X2Go-User] Many segfault across multiple desktops via X2go server on EL9 systems

I originally submitted a detailed bug report at the Mate Desktop issues 
Github page here https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/issues/553.

I subsequently discovered that other desktops are similarly affected. All 
of them experienced segfaults or kernel traps in parts of their 
components, particularly in the Marco window manager that Mate uses.

I have also tried Gnome, Kde, xfce, Cinnamon & Icewm desktops, again on a 
Centos Stream 9 system.  Similar results were found on an Alma 9 system so 
I do not believe the problem is specific to the 'upstream' / lesser-tested 
nature of CS9.

Apart from Icewm which remained usable even with the segfaults, the other 
desktops (particularly Mate which we use a lot for remote working) are 
rendered unusable by this problem.  None of our Centos 7 systems have this 
problem.

I am running out of ideas to diagnose/fix this problem.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
