So far we have not discovered

 1) doesn't work at all with GNOME desktop giving the Oops screen.
Web search seems to imply this is a known issue with GNOME3
with no real solution though I am suprised this is not
mentioned in the X2Go wiki FAQ.  I hate GNOME3 anyway so
can live without it for X2Go

 2) works partially with the KDE desktop. There is the kscreen
issue that is mentioned in the FAQ.  Really unusable unless
one does disable kscreen.  Need to investigate further what
consequences that has on normal logins.

 3) installed MATE from EPEL.  On first login it looks and works great
but when you Logout ... to terminate the session it just hangs
on a blank background.  If you suspend the session via force
closing the window and then try to reconnect it fails or just
takes you right back to the blank background.  One can force
terminate the session with x2goterminate-session to clear it out
and then get a clean login again, but I don't really want my
users having to go though this.

So my question is really about the MATE issue which I would prefer to use. 
Anyone have any clues as to what might be going on or a fix?


 I'm not sure if it's Mate or X2Go but when I first installed both X2Go and
Mate on CentOS7 and tested, all was good.

 Now it's broken for me also but somewhat differently.  When I logout it
just hangs with the background image that I used on my desktop.  So I use
control-alt-M to and then click on the white seal or whatever that animal is,
and then when I get the start-up screen back, I select terminate to terminate
the session.

 Now I tried the same thing on Scientific Linux 7, which like Centos7 is
derived from Enterprise Linux 7, and it still works correctly, so whatever is
broken isn't X2Go or Mate, but rather something specific to CentOS 7.

Robert, I think this is an issue that you should raise over on
X2Go-Dev, or file a bug for it.  Even if CentOS is at fault, it's more
likely to catch the attention of the developers over there, and
reporting it as a bug makes sure it doesn't get lost as time goes on.

Doing Ctrl-Alt-T to terminate in the windows client will make the windows 
close but doesn't clean up the session on the server.  Reconnecting still just 
connects you to a empty background screen.


Doing a logout on the MATE desktop locally works just fine.

I am testing on pretty freshly installed and updated server and on a new user 
where I first wiped out all settings by removing all dot files/directories


This is what is still running on the server as the user after trying

I am never given the list of sessions to have the option to terminate it

to be able to clear it.  Or a reboot.

Instead of reconnecting, select the session and Terminate it, then
select a new session.

That is the work-around that works for me.  I've filed a bug report on
this so hopefully it will be resolved.  I have verified that exactly the same
version of x2go and exactly the same version of Mate exists on both my
SL7 and Centos7 servers and that conf files are the same, yet it works on
SL7 but not Centos7, even though both are derived from EL7.

Oddly Remmina with the NX plugin works properly with Centos7 even though
X2Go does not.
