Dear Anonymous,

about a year ago you proposed a patch for NX/X2Go. Thanks for  
contributing to X2Go.

However, I want to inform you that the patch got rejected. We won't  
tweak the X11 version string presented by NX as that is definitely the  
wrong approach to go at this place.

We are rather working on people/developers becoming aware of X2Go and  
adapting their code so that it does not crash on NX.

Greets,
Mike

Package: nx-libs 
Version: 3.5.0.20-0

As cairo enable buggy_repeat (src/cairo-xlib-display.c) for XFree86 <= 40500000; X.Org >= 60700000 & < 70000000; X.Org < 10400000, it's required to have version 70100000 shown to cairo.

On Debian Wheezy, with original cairo, this will result of no fount displayed as show on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141884.

The problem is already know: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32014

Ubuntu ***seem*** (require more investigation) to have patched their cairo but not Debian.

Patching nx-X11 for show fake version to cairo is for me the best solution as there is no dependance of a patched cairo.

Suggested patch (need more test):

$ vi debian/patches/999_nx-X11_version_hack_for_cairo.patch
