Hi Michael,

The problem appears to be that the current version of source & binary package "gnome-session", 3.12.1-3 (in both jessie and sid), checks for hardware 3D acceleration even when launching GNOME flashback session, which does not require acceleration.
There is probably also a problem with the composite extension not being available (or not being new enough.)
x2goserver will probably need to pass an argument like "--disable-acceleration-check" to gnome-session, once that argument is implemented by gnome-session. So I figured I'd report this bug against x2goserver.
Fine by me. Once we have that option in GNOMEv3.
GNOME bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731173 Corresponding Ubuntu bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1251281 Debian bug: Couldn't find one
Mike#1, how do you propose we word this bug in the Debian BTS? Do you want me to submit it or, should you? You are a DD after all.
Focusing on getting it into jessie only makes sense, if we can provide
a concrete patch that provides a fix to that issue in Debian.
If we don't have a patch, then the issue is unlikely to get fixed
before the jessie release, I feel.
As X2Go is not very usable with Debian's GNOMEv3 at the moment, I
guess not many on the GNOME packaging team are interested in getting
this changed before jessie. However, you could ping mitya57 [1] on
#debian-devel (irc.debian.org) and check if he is open to a solution
for GNOMEv3+X2Go.
Check if we can present a patch for GNOMEv3 in Debian, Talk to mitya57
/ Dmitry. If all is positive, please draft a BTS report and I proxy it
through, but maybe once you have chatted with mitya57, it makes sense
that you post the BTS issue directly, yourself.
If there are hurdles upcoming in all this, I would lower priority and
focus on other tasks (IMHO).
Greets, Mike
