By "switch to Xlib rendering in KDE", do you mean configuring KDE on
the remote host to use XRender instead of OpenGL?  If so, this
workaround does nothing for me.

I doubt it; it doesn't print any console errors about GLX.

The problem and workaround are described in the "Emacs crashes on
start" thread on the X2Go-User list.  See for example here:
<https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2017-September/004524.html>

Yes.  Those instructions are out of date (Mesa wants to be compiled
with meson, not scons).  I tried adapting them and was able to compile
the libraries, but after adding their location to LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
glxinfo still reports the version to be 1.2.  However, quite possibly
I've done something wrong with the build.  I can provide further
information here or on X2go-User if you're interested.

Regards,
Tristan
