But that's where I notice a difference. If I disconnect the x2go
session cleanly, either using the "stop" button or just closing the
window, things work as you described. If I don't close the session
cleanly, e.g. by just sending the laptop to sleep, or by kill -9 on the
x2go client, the remote session stops as if I didn't configure sleep=0.

I'm not entirely sure if it's always the case, but quite often at least,
and certainly today when I tested again. And I don't remember that
behaviour from years ago, but that's probably just me.
