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: --- /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options.orig 2013-01-09 12:27:24.755957564 +0100 +++ /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options 2013-01-09 12:20:13.927957925 +0100 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ # Disable XFIXES. # Workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxfixes/+bug/985202 # -X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension XFIXES" +#X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension XFIXES" # Disable GLX, the old mesa version is hopelessly outdated anyways. # Unbreaks the gnome3 control center 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?
