So I tried this options by adding it to the previous ones:
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -options nx/nx,sleep=0"

It seems to solve indeed the problem at least for glxgears, which now
runs faster when I quit the x2go client, which is what I expect.
However, it has the serious side effect of preventing the sessions to
be suspended; the files clients, keyboard, state and the folders
mimebox and tools are not created in the x2go session folder
(/tmp/.x2go-user/<session>).
This side effect is kind of worse for us.
