The man page of ldconfig reads that /usr/lib is a "trusted" directory
and as such is not specified extra in /etc/ld.so.conf.d
nor /etc/ld.so.conf. /usr/lib/x2go is neither listed in the ld.so conf
files.

So far, the only problem seems to be with darktable, whose cmake script
looks in any subdir of /usr/lib - the configuration log file
shows it found x2go/libx11.so.6. I am not sure if it is an error of
darktable cmake configuration or if this is an expected behaviour.

Just for the curiosity, I have checked all binaries in /usr/bin and none
is dynamically linked to /usr/lib/x2go/...

This could be a solution for me. As a workaround, I have simply
moved /usr/lib/x2go temporarily away and compiled darktable.

Thanks for the hints.
