Alex has just provided a new x2goagent version (3.5.0.5) in X2go Git.  
This new version is based on

     nx-X11-3.5.0-2
     nxagent-3.5.0-5
     nxauth-3.5.0-1

and we hope it fixes the problem of irregularly crashing sessions.

Please everybody who sees these weird session crashes, please test the  
new x2goagent version (currently building for Debian, building for  
Ubuntu tonight) and give us feedback ASAP.

Greets+Thanks,
Mike
