To avoid accidental changes, you can use --no-menu and
--no-session-edit, as explained in "man x2goclient", and store the
sessions file on a read-only network share.
--session-conf=/path/to/sessions-file is the parameter for that, also
explained in the manpage.

Or you can use a session broker setup.

However, there is no way of stopping a user that deliberately wants to
mess with the configuration.
They will always find a way to run x2goclient without any
parameters/with their custom parameters, bypassing your restrictions.

I guess the only way around it might (i.e., still no guarantee) be the
HTML5Client in a rather elaborate setup, where users do not have direct
access to the X2GoServer via IP, only to the HTML5Client. But, the
HTML5Client is neither release-ready nor feature-complete yet ...
