Bug#1180: "Failed to restore all the required visuals" when switching from VcXsrv 1.19.2.0 to 1.17.0.0-3
Package: x2goclient Version: 4.1.0.0 Tags: +build-win32
When you do the following:
- Replace x2goclient's VcXsrv folder with that upstream VcXsrv 1.19.2.0
- Start an X2Go session
- Suspend the session.
- Replace x2goclient's VcXsrv folder with its default version, 1.17.0.0-3 (X2Go/Arctica builds)
- Reconnect & resume the X2Go session
You get the error message: Failed to restore all the required visuals And the session fails to resume.
Yes, this is the same symptom as bug #891, but under different circumstances. https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891
I am sure it could be reproduced if you were to specify VcXsrv 1.19.2.0 as an external X server instead.
Server: RHEL 7.3 with EPEL's x2goserver 4.0.1.20-1.el7 & nxagent 3.5.0.32-3.el7 & xfce 4.12.1 Client System: Windows 10 1703 x64

You are downgrading the X server in this scenario. The older X might indeed have fewer/other visuals, so that behaviour could be correct.
Howewer, nx 3.5.99.x has a feature called "tolerancechecks=strict/safe/risky/bypass" that might help here.
