What you describe here (and what we in depth have discussed on   
x2go-user ML) might indeed relate to this issue report (marked as   
,,serious'' by NoMachine):
http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR0202420

And this obviously has been fixed in nxagent-3.5.0-2:

@Alex: do you think you could pull the nxagent patches into x2goagent?  
  That would be fabulous!!!
