Bug#362: Chromium/chrome still crash VcXsrv when used with X2Go (VcXsrv doesn't crash with Chromium/Chrome and plain X via SSH)
Package: x2goclient Severity: wishlist Version: 4.0.1.2
Even with the newer Xserver that is included in x2goclient-4.0.1.2-pre02-setup, Chromium and Chrome still crash at random intervals. To be exact, they're not crashing themselves, they're crashing the Xserver. Pausing and resuming a session lets you continue where you stopped, yet, this is an instability that users won't put up with since they quit Windows 98/Millennium for good. It's only when X2Go is involved that these crashes occur - if you export the display with ssh (from PuTTY) instead of using x2goclient.exe, Chromium and Chrome behave well.
This is not a showstopper for me (my customers are using Iceweasel so far), but it is an issue where I had hoped to see some improvement with the new Xserver.

I'm not seeing this bug any more with Chromium 35.0.1916.114-1~deb7u2 on Debian Wheezy with X2Go Server 4.0.1.15-0x2go1+git20140403.847+wheezy.main.1 and X2Go Client 4.0.2.0+build2 on Windows 7. Of course, this may just be because I haven't tested it long enough.
It would be cool if someone else could try to run it in this particular combination, and try Chrome as well, so we can get a second opinion on whether to close the bug or not.
