Most probable all those desktops require features that are not offered by NX. We have seen many cases where they do not correctly check what versions of x server extensions are available and assume higher versions. I am not sure but maybe EL9 apps are only tested against Wayland and not longer X11?
Do you have more details when they crash? Will the DEs crash or the x2goagent/nxagent?

I originally submitted a detailed bug report at the Mate Desktop issues Github page here https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/issues/553.
I subsequently discovered that other desktops are similarly affected. All of them experienced segfaults or kernel traps in parts of their components, particularly in the Marco window manager that Mate uses.
I have also tried Gnome, Kde, xfce, Cinnamon & Icewm desktops, again on a Centos Stream 9 system. Similar results were found on an Alma 9 system so I do not believe the problem is specific to the 'upstream' / lesser-tested nature of CS9.
Apart from Icewm which remained usable even with the segfaults, the other desktops (particularly Mate which we use a lot for remote working) are rendered unusable by this problem. None of our Centos 7 systems have this problem.
I am running out of ideas to diagnose/fix this problem.
Any thoughts?
Thanks Tom Crane
