[X2Go-User] Cannot launch GThumb (double free or corruption) [SOLVED]

[Nicolas Ecarnot]

Hello,

Yesterday, using Kdenlive (absolutely not in the X2GO context), I was 
bothered by the flickering bug 
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406891).
Some comments lead me to try to change my video driver from NVidia to 
Nouveau xorg driver.

The result is that :
- Kdenlive is not flickering anymore
- Gthumb and VLC are now running nicely through X2GO

This all is beyond my skills, but I figured out a workaround so I 
thought I'd share it here and there.

Have a nice day.
