Installing Pycharm in Ubuntu 18.04 using X2Go or Xming shows a red or green page

I use X2Go (client in windows 7, server in Ubuntu 18.04) to remote to my Ubuntu.

For a fresh install, in a terminal I run:

$~/Downloads/pycharm-community-2020.1/bin/pycharm

The pycharm launches as a blank red-colored page:

I also tried using Xming to have the X server in Windows, and Putty to Forward X11. This time I get a green page:

Does anyone know how I can fix this? 

Thank you in advance

Just to clarify - does it work if you run PyCharm directly from the desktop session (not over X11 forwarding)?

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I cannot test that because of the COVID-19 quarantine. 

One note: The target machine is headless and has no screen.
