Seems to work ;-)

Direct after "x2goagent" I've added "-dpi 96".

< LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$X2GO_LIB x2goagent  -$SESSION_TYPE -geometry
${X2GO_GEOMETRY} -name "X2GO-${SESSION_NAME}"  ${NX_AGENT}

Nice to see how good documented x2goagent is. I did:
/usr/lib/x2go/x2goagent -h

Maybe it's a good idea to use a default of 96 dpi like they tell here:
http://www.scanline.ca/dpi/
Or are there devices what really use 75/75? (Maemo?)
