I really think that we (that is -> Alex, as he is the one of us who is  
into the materia of X most deeply) should incorporate that latest  
nxagent fixes into x2goagent ASAP.

The Debian packages we build are build in qemubuilder environments so  
this really should not make a difference if you re-compile on your  
system.

What we do is:

   import nxagent 3.5.0-x
   and then increment the x to y and replace the - by a dot: 3.5.0.y

   So x2goagent 3.5.0.2 is a forked nxagent 3.5.0-1.

It should also be possible to use x2goagent 3.4.0.x together with  
x2goserver 3.0.99.6 (you have to apply fixes so it builds on Debian  
lenny, though).

Once we release 3.0.99.6 (which is hopefully soon) I will provide a  
lenny backport ASAP.

Thanks for your input!!!
