The self compiled stuff seems to be now more stable for these first hours (finger crossed). So either it depends on the compile machine and some library dependencies or it may be a heap memory problem of x2goagent. And yes, I know that you wrote the stability might have something to do with the old X-server compiled-in into the x2goagent ...
What you describe here (and what we in depth have discussed on
x2go-user ML) might indeed relate to this issue report (marked as
,,serious'' by NoMachine):
http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR0202420
And this obviously has been fixed in nxagent-3.5.0-2:
<quote> ChangeLog:
nx-X11-3.5.0-2
Fixed TR0202420. XKB utility functions wrote out of bounds.
Upgraded RandR server extension to version 1.2.
nx-X11-3.5.0-1
Opened the 3.5.0 branch based on nx-X11-3.4.0-4.
Updated copyright to year 2011.

@Alex: do you think you could pull the nxagent patches into x2goagent?
That would be fabulous!!!
Greets, Mike

Alex has just provided a new x2goagent version (3.5.0.5) in X2go Git.
This new version is based on
nx-X11-3.5.0-2
nxagent-3.5.0-5
nxauth-3.5.0-1and we hope it fixes the problem of irregularly crashing sessions.
Please everybody who sees these weird session crashes, please test the
new x2goagent version (currently building for Debian, building for
Ubuntu tonight) and give us feedback ASAP.
Greets+Thanks, Mike

For us, non-debian-based users, can you please point to the location where the releases are placed nowadays? (I know I could use git, though at the moment I prefer tarballs.)
I have been browsing for quite a while across the various x2go sites
x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb http://code.x2go.org/releases/source packages.x2go.org/debian/pool/main
and yes, I am a bit confused ;-). The last link seems to show quite new releases, though not x2goagent 3.5.0.5.

x2goagent 3.5.0.5 ist not yet released. We (Reinhard, Alex, Mike) are
currently working under high pressure on a build problem in x2goagent.
x2goagent and all nx libs have to be built against nx-X11, not Xorg of
the distribution NX is build against.
So, currently, we have to ask for your patience regarding a
non-crashing x2goagent. We already have a test x2goagent at hand that
does not crash, but we have to adapt our package build structure for
that. This is work in progress with highest prio.
Thanks, Mike

Really nice to see there are people working hard on the problem!
