[X2Go-User] Odd problem connecting to linux

I've come across an odd problem.  From windows and linux clients I'm 
attempting to connect to a linux system, rocky linux 8.7, and run a 
single application.  Terminator is the application but it seems as 
though most any app behaves the same.

If noone is logged onto the remote linux systems gnome desktop the 
connection works okay.  But if for instance I'm logged into gnome on the 
linux box and try to get a terminator shell over x2go the terminator 
window pops up on the linux desktop instead of being redirected back to 
the client side of the connection.

On the linux server side: X11Forwarding is set to yes. X11UseLocalhost 
is set to no, it was set to yes previously but the change didn't effect 
the behavior.  AllowAgentForwarding and AllowTcpForwarding are both set 
to default which should be yes.

Any clues where I should start looking for the cause here?
