Thanks for investigating. I¹ll give those suggestions a try and report back soon.

The main one is Rstudio 1.1.456 which was installed from the .deb package available from https://download1.rstudio.org/rstudio-xenial-1.1.456-amd64.deb .rstudio.org (64.9MB).
Without the workaround, RStudio fails to launch with the same sort of error reported earlier in this thread. With the workaround, users reported ³Šquite difficult to navigate, slow response from server. In particular but not only when using R studio. As well as constant flickering of server window² and "The server window is often ³flickering², and response time is very slow."
I have tried that version but since I have no R experience I cannot see any problems - neither with an old nx version nor with the latest (and greatest ;-) developer version.
Without BIG-REQUESTS it fails with a GL message which indicates that it is using OpenGL which is slow on NX. Maybe rstudio offers a way to switch off OpenGL usage. I expect it to be fast then.
I seems there have been ways to configure that in rstudio (see https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/3185) but my version 1.1,456 does not offer these settings.
You can TRY adding "-extension GLX" (which disables the GLX extension) to x2goagent.options and see what happens.
