Package: xserver-xsession
Severity: important
Version: 4.0.1.19

Several /etc/X11/Xsession.d scripts on Debian and Ubuntu (and other  
derivatives) fail (don't get executed), because they try to detect a  
variable $BASESTARTUP from $STARTUP which gets set during the Xsession  
startup mechanism.

The detection code expects the session command (mate-session,  
startkde, xfce4-session, etc.) as the first element in $STARTUP when  
splitting the $STARTUP string at every blank.

As x2goruncommand prepends a LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the STARTUP command  
(for enabling Xinerama in X2Go sessions), this distro-specific  
detection mechanism fails.

Why report this issue to X2Go then (and not to Debian). Easy  
reasoning... With nx-libs 3.6.x, the Xinerama code will be completely  
rewritten and it won't be necessary to set a customer LD_LIBRARY_PATH  
anymore. Thus, we should make sure, your X2Go Xsession startups get  
aligned with distro-specific expectations.
