I am trying to fix gnome sessions (gnome flashback) on Ubuntu 15.10+.

What exactly you are trying to fix? I don't know anything about x2go... Maybe others can help you.

 I started with fixing session name (flashback -> flashback-metacity) and disabling acceleration check (--disable-acceleration-check), but the sessions are still broken, they start as a black screen and crashes after few minutes.

Correct session name is 'gnome-flashback-metacity'. Also I would suggest to add '--debug' to get log that might be useful.

Logs are inconclusive.
I guess services are failing to start and the problem is related to recent systemd-user-init and upstart mixture for sessions start-up.

Can anyone educate me how exactly the sessions are starting in recent releases and where the problem might be?

Is XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP set to 'GNOME-Flashback:GNOME'? In ubuntu case 'GNOME-Flashback:Unity'. Without this gnome-panel and gnome-flashback (as minimum) will not be started. In this case gnome-session will tell that applications are disabled if started with --debug:

app-id:gnome-panel.desktop is-disabled:1
