Black screen after logout of x2go session

Hi,

I have an arch machine with xfce4 I connect to with x2go. Until recently I could just use the xfce logout button to suspend the session, and the main window would close.
This worked until I did a system update 4 days ago (9 march 2015) where some xfce4 components got updated.

Now the desktop disappears and becomes a black screen, and according to the log the session is still active. If I suspend the session using the button on the client (or just close the main window) and reconnect again later, I am greeted with a black screen again.
The only solution then is to terminate the session through the client and reconnect.

When i execute x2gosuspend-session or x2goterminate-session in a terminal, the session gets suspended/terminated as expected.
Those 2 commands basically do what I want the log out and shutdown button inside xfce to do.

relevant update log:

Does anyone know how I can restore previous behavior?

Re: Black screen after logout of x2go session

Have you found a fix? I guess this is Xfce 4.12 related. Maybe we should report this to the X2go devs.

Re: Black screen after logout of x2go session

As a workaround, you can create the file " /usr/local/bin/xfce4-session" with this content:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xfce4-session
killall -q x2goagent || true

Don't forget to make the file executable.

Not pretty at all, but works for now.

Please someone also affected report this to the X2go mailing list or X2go bugtracker.
