On my Fedora machine with these installed:

python-x2go-0.2.1.2-0.1.fc18.noarch
x2goagent-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
x2goserver-4.0.0.0-1.fc18.x86_64
x2goclient-4.0.0.1-1.fc18.x86_64

They have pulled in the following dependencies:

libNX_freetype-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_X11-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xcomposite-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xdamage-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xdmcp-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xext-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xfixes-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xinerama-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xpm-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xrandr-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xrender-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libNX_Xtst-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libXcomp-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libXcompext-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64
libXcompshad-3.5.0.17-2.20130115gitc8a5fdd.fc18.x86_64

So that seems like a good start.

Also, I'd be curious to know what is different between libraries like 
libNX_freetype, libNX_Xfixes, libNX_Xcomposite, libNX_Xdamage, 
libNX_Xdmcp and the regular system versions since they do not seem to 
link to any other nx specific libraries.

Okay, here goes my initial changes.

I'd still like to unbundle Xpm if possible, but it does get linked to 
libXcomp.  And Mesa may be just too integrated.

I am currently testing your patches and once the .deb packages build  
with the patch 0002_ applied, I will push the patch to nx-libs.git.

Thanks for this piece of digging code work!
