ssh key discovery doesn't work with python-x2go
Bug reported migrated from https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1348
If a profile enables "Discover SSH keys or use SSH agent for X2Go authentication" (that's from the PyHoca-GUI profile editor), then neither pyhaca-gui nor pyhoca-cli can connect. The result is "pyhoca-cli: error: No existing session". Explicitly specifying the SSH private key works. The x2goclient (non-python) does not have this problem.
Here is some debug output of the failure.
