FYI: I have made a patch for nx-libs that fixes some BIG-REQUESTS problems (atom and vscode now work). It does not seem to help with paraview 4.4 but I also cannot properly use it without x2go, I get "Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40807) with this library (version 0x40806)". So YMMV.
Here's the patch: https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/pull/729 (not sure when it will make into the released code. For now you have to apply and compile yourself

ok, when I put
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" +extension BIG-REQUESTS"
into /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options then paraview starts without errors.
But the comment says: "Disable BIG-REQUESTS, nx-libs does not implement this extension correctly. Leads to all sorts of weird crashes if left enabled." Is this still true? Do I have to fear all sorts of weird crashes?
Yes, unfortunately this is still true. I am unsure what exactly the problems are. But we have apps that crash with the extension enabled. And we have some apps that crash with the extension disabled ;-(
