Getting the NX-libraries updated is a task that is actively being worked on - maybe Mike#1 or Ulrich can chime in on when they expect to be able to support GLX 1.3?
Ulrich just replied to me off-list - I'm assuming by accident, as it was sent from his smartphone. His statement was that you shouldn't expect GLX 1.3 support in the NX-libraries in the near future. :-(

Well, we do have a workaround for GLX support. http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:glx-xlib-workaround?s[]=glx
But:
- It requires putting the environment variable in a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ script . These scripts get launched before the desktop environment is started. This is very easy shell scripting. Note that non-debian-derived distros often use other paths. Fedora/RHEL-derived distros use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ .
I think this could be added to x2go as an option. X2go could deliver that mesa lib and set it the session.
The build instructions likely vary from distro to distro, and release to release.
I have not tested it with entire desktop environments. GNOME3 may have a check that will prevent it from working, even if it is otherwise capable of working.
Maybe is would help to let the x2goagent report newer version, too, in that case (even if it is not implemented).
Thanks for reminding me, I had totally forgotten this!
