I do have a zlib1.dll in the x2goclient main directory, but that
wasn't enough to make VcXsrv work.

I found the problem: it looks like it works only when you start
x2goclient with the current directory set to the install directory (in
my case, "C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient").  It does ship with a
working shortcut, but I made my own that didn't set up the cwd
properly.

In my case, it was because runas didn't pass through the "Start In" directory:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /profile /user:x2go
"C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\x2goclient.exe"

but it can also happen if you just have the wrong "Start In" directory
on the shortcut.
