Package: x2goserver
Severity: important
Version: 4.0.0.0
Hi Christoffer,
I submit the below issue as a bug to X2Go BTS. I file it against X2Go
Server for now, however, a real fix is probably needed in nx-libs
xfixes extension. So we may reassign this issue later...

It is very likely that not nx-libs caused this, but an upgrade of
x2goserver to version 4.0.0.0.
In 4.0.0.0 we have added a configuration file (/etc/x2go/x2goagent)
that disables the GLX and the XFIXES extension. Obviously, disabling
the XFIXES extension causes problems in precise's Unity and the screen
resolution is not set properly anymore.
For now, please comment out this line in x2goagent.options:

It seems that the XFIXES extension is used to detect the clients
screen resolution and hand it over to the desktop shell (or xrandr?).
Still a little in the dark, but the above change in x2goagent.options
seems to solve the reported issue. However, enabling XFIXES in
x2goagent again leads to other problems, that were lately discussed on
IRC. Do what causes least problems for you...
Mike's question at the other devs is: wouldn't it be better to comment
out the recommended extension disablings as opposed to disabling the
extension right away and expecting not-so-well tested errors?
Feedback? Opinions?
Greets,
Mike
