The segfault was due to non-existent "x2godesktopsharing" group in the
system.

This involves two matters:

x Arch Linux does not allow for group names longer then 16 characters.

x x2godesktopsharing should check for existence of the group and quit
nicely otherwise.

Since I am not a coder, I was able to solve only the first issue -
patches are attached. (The debian postinst script should probably
handle the original group name as well - e.g. move the members to the
new group.)

It would be nice if it is accepted upstream, since a similar limitation
might also exist on other *nix systems.

Regards,
Milan
