WAIT - operator error - I had another machine w/the same static IP on
the switch.
Obviously a big problem. Please discount the below and I promise
self-flagellation for not thinking before posting...

This is getting worse. Now, for reasons I don't understand, my client
session freezes.
Eventually it pops up a window saying the server is not responding and
asks me if I want to terminate the session. I say yes. Nothing happens.
Then I go back to the main X2Go client window and hit the "terminate"
button (the round one in the lower right of the gray rectangular
window inside the blue area). It asks if I want to terminate. I say
yes. Nothing happens.
Eventually another window pops up and tells me the server session has
been killed, and indeed that window goes away. Now the client is
stuck in a mode with a rotating wheel and a message "x2goclient.exe
has stopped working" and a button: "Close program". I hit that
button and it finally all goes away.
So then I try again from scratch. Immediately get a popup: "Socket
error: Unknown error". I hit OK.
Hit "Cancel". Try again. Now it's hung (no message, no session).
Only way to kill it is via the big red X in the upper right of the
client window.

For example, I mistakenly try to open a session to a (linux)
server which is not powered up, the (Windows) client simply sits
and tries. There's no way to cancel. Clicking on the small round
on/off button in the session window (the rectangular one that lands
in the left/blue area) does not take. I simply have to wait until
it times out. Could this not be dealt with more actively?
Obviously this is a "don't do that" kind of thing, but it does
happen.
You could file a wishlist bug for that, and see if one of our
volunteer devs picks up on it, or someone steps up and offers to fix
it for a price.
To do so, send an eMail to sub...@bugs.x2go.org,
subject: something descriptive, like "add cancel button for
'connecting' phase",
first two lines of the eMail must be ...
package: x2goclient
severity: wishlist
leave one blank line after that, just like I did here,
then add a description, e.g. you could just copy and paste the
paragraph of your eMail that I quoted above.
Also, if the server is shut down from the client window (which is
the case for us because we're effectively headless), then the
client "sort of" hangs again. Trying to kill the active session
window by clicking the red X in the upper right does nothing.
Eventually I get a notice that the server is incommunicado and asks
if I want to terminate th current session. Would be nice if there
were a cleaner way to handle this.
Well, ordinary users should not be able to shut down the server
remotely. So for our regular use cases, this isn't an issue.
To shut down the server remotely, assuming you have sufficient
permissions, I would suggest the following script on the server (you
can place a shortcut to it on the desktop if you like), probably best
stored in /usr/local/sbin/ or /usr/local/bin/:
#!/bin/bash
(sleep 10 && poweroff) &
disown
x2goterminate-session
If the account you're using for X2Go remoting doesn't have sufficient
permissions to run the poweroff command, I suggest installing sudo (if
not already present) and setting it up in a way that your account may
run "poweroff" without having to authenticate first. In that case,
you need to use
sleep 10 && sudo poweroff
inside the brackets in the above script.
(Note that I haven't tested this, but this is how it should work)
The sleep 10 && poweroff tells your server to wait 10 seconds before
it starts powering down. The brackets and the ampersand cause the job
to run in the background. The disown tells your server to keep
executing the backgrounded task even if the session disconnects. The
x2goterminate-session is basically the suicide command for your
running X2Go session.
