Yes, it is understandable. But this only relevant for xinerama
information. And that information is coming from the config file
(which is correctly updated in this case by x2goclient). So I still do
not see why x2goagent needs to be triggered in any way. If a software
needs to know the xinerama setup it issues a XineramaQueryScreens()
request. This is intercepted by the libNX_xinerama.so and answered
with the information from the config file. The x2goagent does not even
see this request and thus does noot need to be updated. The only
problem that your code solves might be the window manager in the
session that caches xinerama information.

Do you have a use case that does not work without the resize?
