I recently upgraded remote computer and whey trying to connect via X2go with XFCE session produces just grey screen and it is hard to terminate the session.

When I select "Connect to local Desktop" (remote computer is running XFCE) the connection works.

The remote and local computer running same version of x2go:
net-misc/x2goclient-4.1.2.2-r1
net-misc/x2goserver-4.1.0.3-r1

net-misc/x2goserver-4.1.0.3-r1
When XFCE session is selected in I get grey screen and in the session log I see:
...
Loop: WARNING! Unrecognized session type 'unix-kde-depth_24'. Assuming agent session.
Warning: Unrecognized session type 'unix-kde-depth_24'. Assuming agent session.
...

It seems to me it is trying to force KDE session instead of XFCE.

Any solutions?

There are many discussion in Google around the line

Unrecognized session type 'unix-kde-depth_24'

and differences in libraries. Have you studied those?

The problematic is new: x11-libs/libwnck-43.0

It needs to be patched with:
