[X2Go-Dev] Bug#884: nxagent aborts session with 'Could not open default font 'fixed''

[devsk]

I did a quick gdb session. You can see it below. The culprit is exactly the function that I pointed out earlier in 1st post for this bug.

(gdb) b SetDefaultFont
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4210b0: file NXdixfonts.c, line 221.
(gdb) r :50
