To either confirm or rule out that Alex' recent changes to x2goclient
introduced this behavior, Mike#2 has agreed to provide a special test
build of x2goclient with

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=76777fca627f287f8d721023a44646d13e13accb

(Alex' change that broke the nightlies) and

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=093543e62d00d8b0dcfb36798fa48bd8757fb17e
(Alex' fix to make the nightlies work again)

removed.

If this fixes the issue, Mike#1 has already announced that he will
revert those changes from the code for the 4.0.2.1 release.

I volunteer as a tribute, err, as a guinea pig for the test build.
