I have a question on this patch. While integrating it into the  
nx-libs.git repo, I realized, that it can be applied to Windows.c  
twice. Once at the position that you provide in the patch file,  
another (second) time around line 2895...

"""
mike@minobo:~/MyDocuments/4projects/x2go-upstream/nx-libs$ patch -p1 <  
nxagent_Window.c-ppc64-create-windows.patch
patching file nx-X11/programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent/Window.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 2894 (offset 2559 lines).
"""

Maybe the same patch is needed at that second position?

Mike
