Hm... for some reason I did not receive replies to gmail, saw the

Thanks for reply.
The main intention is to not actually forbid something, but rather to
minimize possible user mistakes. There is a long list of options in
session setup - KDE, GNOME, ... - which we don't plan to install on
the server. But user can choose them and then get an error.
I just want all users to start the custom session script, which will
setup keyboard (unfortunaly x2go cannot do that from server side :()
and run correct session.
Do I understand correctly, that current X2Go client cannot do that?
