The version that is working for me is
x2goserver-4.0.1.18-3.el7.x86_64. If that is not what you have, try:
yum--enablerepo=epel-testing update x2goserver
You might also have to do something to clean up the old sessions that
the broken version had started - I can't remember what else I might
have done. Also, if you can, make sure that MATE is working at the
console, and for the first attempts turn off the drive mapping and
sound to have fewer things that can break.

So far I am still mostly using NX/freenx on a C6 system as my main
desktop with occasional 'ssh -Y ...' connections from there to C7 for
GUI programs. I think x2go will be a usable replacement, but the
windows client has some conflict with 'synergy' which I also use to
share the keyboard/mouse with an adjacent laptop so I haven't switched
yet.
Starting from a text login, what's the "startx" equivalent to start
MATE? I see
/bin/startx (starts gnome3)
/bin/startxfce4 (starts xfce4)
Thanks for your help
David
