Congrats. As a side note regarding upcoming Debian 9...

It is very likely, that we will get nx-libs 3.6.x (or 3.5.99.y) into  
Debian for Debian 9. I am open to packaging X2Go Server for Debian,  
too, but this requires the adaptations for nx-libs 3.6.x as found in  
the current master branch (targetting X2Go Server 4.1.0.0).  
Alternatively, X2Go devs may consider to backport those commits [1] to  
the release/4.0.1.x branch...

Let me know, if any of the above can be done at X2Go upstream as a  
pre-requisite for getting X2Go Server into Debian. And also, let me  
know, if X2Go upstream "risks" to depend on nx-libs 3.6.x.

Another thing that comes to my mind: nx-libs 3.6.x has completely  
change the Xinerama part in nxagent / x2goagent. Thus, a new handling  
of Xinerama configuration from X2Go Client's side needs to be  
implemented, too [2]. That would probably fix other Xinerama related  
issues [3].
