So by sheer dumb luck I have come across a solution to this problem that works for me and I thought I'd send the update in case anyone else comes across this problem.
On my windows x2go client I had to set the X.org server settings for window mode FROM -multiwindow -notrayicon -clipboard -engine 1 TO -extension Composite -multiwindow -notrayicon -clipboard -engine 1 I'm not sure what log I could have looked at or error message that would have told me it was a problem with the composite extension but there it is. Maybe this will save someone time and frustration in the future. -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com [mailto:ulrich.sibil...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Ulrich Sibiller Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2016 11:41 PM To: Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> Cc: x2go-user@lists.x2go.org Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] multiwindow option and resizing an application window On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 9:19 PM, Dionne, Dennis P <dennis.p.dio...@boeing.com> wrote: > Thank you for replying!

There should be a logfile on the session on the server, usually in ~/x2go. Can you check for suspicious messages there? I think it is worth trying the upcoming 3.6.x version of the nx-libs. Unfortunately you need to build the rpm yourself. Please clone the repo at https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs.git and use the specfile in there to build an rpm. > I cannot get the linux x2go client (4.0.5.1) to work because of this > issue https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00556.html > https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-05/msg00076.html > > I don't use the linux client so this is not an issue for me but for this > troubleshooting I can try to get it working. Yeah, have come over this problem, too. But as I am not involved in the x2goclient development or packaging I cannot help here.

That may be enough to Oh, that shifts focus back to windows again. Mike#2, any ideas? answer your question (and isolate it to windows). If not let me know and I will pursue getting 4.0.5.1 linux client working on RHEL6. According to the bug reports, I would have to update libssh to >= 0.6 but that is problematic on RHEL6 (apparently it's unsupported because I can't even download it from RHN for RHEL6 but I can for RHEL7). I will have to install some newer packages in parallel with the older versions and update LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using x2goclient... > As far as giving you the application, unfortunately this application is > proprietary and I do not own it so I cannot give it to you.

If you google for that message you'll find that this is from metacity and only a harmless warning. However, I am wondering why the app cann be resized at all then. Do you see the resizing problem when using another window manager or even desktop? Can you sucessfully resize using xdotool?
