Bug Description

Upgrade of my Ubuntu-MATE 18.04 LTS terminal server "sei" to 20.04-beta completed without any errors, but there is a problem with "x2go-server", which results in thick black borders around windows on the "x2go" remote desktop - These do not appear if I login locally on the server and it is not associated with any particular user account:

manager@sei:~$ lsb_release -d

I tried this as well, and I can confirm that I see thick black borders around windows. I tried going to `/usr/share/themes/Ambiant-MATE/metacity-1` to see if the themes were messed up, but it seems to be just fine. So something else is adding a border around the windows and not the theme.

I can confirm this behavior also when using remote session over VNC (RealVNC server + client).

I have the same problem. Black borders appear around application windows when I use VNC.

Same happens to me, using X2GO, connecting to Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL2.

This worked for me:
Control Center > Look and Feel > Mate Teak > Windows > Window Manager
Select: Marco (no composition)

It removes the thick border, leaving a very thin one.
