[X2go-User] question regarding x2goclient armel builds

I did some more thinking/tinkering and think that what Brian says makes more sense

I was able to ssh -X (via the xterm that the webos-internals have packaged for the touchpad) and was able to successfully start lxde without any segfault or any major issues.  So, it seems that as Brian suggests it is more a problem of the xserver in the chrooted Debian than it is a problem of the webos Xserver.

In essence, I've found a solution for now.  Thanks again for your help and your work on the x2go packages, I'll still be using them from my other windoze and linux machines.
