This should not be necessary... With Debian it also works with   
libxcomp* being installed in /usr/lib.

There used to be times when x2go shipped its own NX libs with   
/usr/lib/x2go as path, but that's not so any more. x2go uses pure NX   
libs, only x2goagent is a fork of nxagent.

Please check that again. That should not be necessary. It could be   
misleading if you put it like that in the X2go wiki. I bet there is   
another way with using default library paths.

Could you send a diff for that??? x2goclient should not refer to a   
hard coded path for startkde.

@Alex: any idea about this:

mike at minobo:~/MyDocuments/4projects/x2go-upstream/x2goclient$ grep -ri  
  /usr/bin/startkde *
onmainwindow.cpp:    sessionCmd="/usr/bin/startkde";
x2goclient_de.ts:        <source>/usr/bin/startkde</source>
x2goclient_de.ts:        <translation   
type="obsolete">/usr/bin/startkde</translation>

However, there currently are hard-coded path in the x2goserver   
(server!) script ,,x2goruncommand''. This is not optimal.

@Alex: Should we migrate them to non-fullpath calls

   /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -> gnome-terminal
   etc.
