Hi Devs,
just FYI: I tried to run 3.99.2.1-rc3 on Windows 8 (32-Bit) and it gets to the point where the connection is established and it tries to start the X server on the client, then it completely crashes Windows 8 (forced reboot).
Attempting to run vcxsrv.exe on its own doesn't seem to do anything: There's no black X desktop showing up, but Win8 doesn't crash either.
With Windows 8 schedluled for release in October 2012, I guess *someone* should take a look at this soon.

Yeah!!! Someone at Microsoft, I guess... It is their OS that crashed.
Not X2Go (VcXsrv).

I do agree. If it actually crashes, there is (also) a bug in Windows or, more likely, some driver (Due to memory protection, etc. it should not be possible for any application to crash the OS). While Windows crashes it's probably not worth investigating. Afterwards you might want to poke the VcXsrv-guys :).
Cheers Morty
