Hi Peter,

However I tried that "self compiled" and "self packaged" way, because
I run crazy about reproducible session crashes of my xfce4 desktop of my
64bit server.
X2goagent seems to die without any hint in the session logs, if I use
that one from the Lenny repo: http://packages.x2go.org/debian/, when I
close a synaptic, gimp, eclipse, HP-toolbox .... and other tools.
Unfortunately the number of tools seem to become an increasing number
the last weeks. Interesting was that it depends on:
a) when that critical tool was started (e.g. just after the session
startup or later)
b) if I used the start menu or a terminal (e.g. sudo synaptic worked
fine, but starting from menu crashes the session often)
The self compiled stuff seems to be now more stable for these first
hours (finger crossed). So either it depends on the compile machine and
some library dependencies or it may be a heap memory problem of
x2goagent. And yes, I know that you wrote the stability might have
something to do with the old X-server compiled-in into the x2goagent ...
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):

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

ChangeLog:
nx-X11-3.5.0-2

Fixed TR0202420. XKB utility functions wrote out of bounds.

Upgraded RandR server extension to version 1.2.

nx-X11-3.5.0-1

Opened the 3.5.0 branch based on nx-X11-3.4.0-4.

@Alex: do you think you could pull the nxagent patches into

x2goagent?   That would be fabulous!!!
Alex has just provided a new x2goagent version (3.5.0.5) in X2go Git.

This new version is based on
 nx-X11-3.5.0-2
 nxagent-3.5.0-5
 nxauth-3.5.0-1
and we hope it fixes the problem of irregularly crashing sessions.
Please everybody who sees these weird session crashes, please test the

new x2goagent version (currently building for Debian, building for

Ubuntu tonight) and give us feedback ASAP.
Greets+Thanks,
Mike
