Maybe my wording was a bit misleading. What I meant was this patch:
0202_nx-X11_enable-xinerama.full.patch
This indeed patches the libXinerama that is built from the nx-x11 tree (in nx-X11/lib/Xinerama/Xinerama.c). And that's the one that is distributed in x2go and provided via LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have xinerama emulation.
We are indeed working on dropping as many of nx-libs's bundled libraries as possible. We replace them with the system's versions. Often this means modifying files under nx-X11/programs/xserver/ like the one you mentioned. I am not sure what the schedule is for libXinerama, but I assume it is on the list. All this work is being done on the nx-libs 3.6.x branch. http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.6.x https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/tree/3.6.x
Hopefully someone can comment on the timetable for dropping the bundled libXinerama. Still, just because we dropped libXinerama doesn't mean we will immediately release nx-libs 3.6.0; We will probably drop other libraries 1st.
Ok, I have not seen a detailed list of the planned steps, does such a thing exist?
