Awesome!!!

You can definitely accelerate the process if you send a tested patch.  
Please send patches that apply for your code base in X2Go Git. To  
clone a project use

git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goserver.git
git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goclient.git
etc.

Modify the code and send the output of ,,git diff'' to this mailing list.

I will take a look at the Makefiles, but if you find time to send a  
patch, that will probably much quicker!!!

The segfaulting seems like Alex should take a look at that. Could you  
send exact versions (of every X2Go component) that you use for testing  
and packaging?

The manual testing with x2gostartagent, x2goruncommand etc. is  
possible but I cannot explain that without digging into the client code.

@Heinz+Alex: if you can provide a manual session startup workflow,  
could you please document that in the wiki???

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
