This might add some knowledge to the VcXsrv testing for X2go.

I have just got PyHoca-CLI running on Windows. PyHoca-CLI is a  
command-line X2go client. The only X-Server stuff that is used with it  
is nxproxy.exe (from the most recent X2goClient).

We have to differentiate the different XServer modes:

   o multiple windows
   o fullscreen
   o one large window
   o one large window without title bar

Whereas sessions start well under Xming 6.9.x with all these modes,  
nxproxy lets VcXsrv crash in multiple window mode. With the other  
quasi-fullscreen modes the session starts up pretty fine (I have not  
had any time to test stability and long term duration...). With all  
the tests I had native GL support turned off in VcXsrv. I tested in  
KVM VNC-DisplayConsole and in Rdesktop Windows (as I do not have real  
Windows hardware around).

That is, to my guess, the problem is not an X2go client problem. I'd  
rather suppose, that the core problem is with nxproxy in conjunction  
with VcXsrv.

Maybe someone competent can contact the VcXsrv developer(s) and ask  
for their opionion?

Greetings,
Mike

@Dick: please not that this is an update to my former mail I sent to  
you privately...
