not a problem.

Also not a problem, rather a bug in x2go that has always been there.
$SOMEONE should fix it..

this is intended behaviour.

This is the cause of your trouble.

This is also uncritical but should happen.

Both previous messages indicate that something is not correct in the
way NX was built on your system.

It is not a red herring. This code clearly shuts down nxagent when the
font is missing.  Need to find out why that is because on my system I
do not have the fixed font installed but it works.

Please try the following: Connect with ssh -X to the server and run
"/bin/nxagent :5 -ac" . Can you start it that way?
