Folks

I have been unable to get X2go to work on a Centos 7 server.  I have 
tried both the out-of-the-box GNOME desktop and the Xfce as well.

In both cases, the view from the client is that the screen starts to 
appear, then goes away.  On the server, I see the following messages 
in /var/log/messages (I have erased the user name and replaced it 
with XXX).  The server is running as a virtual machine on a Win7 
system (using VMWare), and the "YYY" mentioned below is the Win7 
user.  "Goat" is the name of the server.

As you can see, this particular run was using Xfce.

I would appreciate guidance, and yes, I have read the "manual", and 
also at least one "howto" specific to Centos 7.

The version of the x2go server is

[root at goat log]# rpm -qa | grep x2go
x2goserver-4.0.1.18-1.el7.x86_64
x2goagent-3.5.0.27-1.el7.x86_64
x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.18-1.el7.x86_64
[root at goat log]#

the X2go client on Win7 works just fine with my Centos6 and Debian 
servers.  I found no way to capture the commentary produced by the X2go client.
