Question: maple2016 will not start in a linux x2go session, PERPIXEL_TRANSLUCENT translucency is not supported

Connecting to a linux x2go server with an x2go client (tried Mac and Linux) and try to start maple2016 in a terminal, I get this error:

$ /opt/maple2016/bin/xmaple 
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:

The same xmaple will start graphically if I connect with a normal remote X connection. However a normal remote X connection is unusable on a slow network connection.
