Because I *have* to go through every package and enable new builds - that's not done automatically. An additional click while I'm on it won't kill me. :) > I am having problems with x2go on 16.04.1 LTS that were not a problem > on 15.10.

Good debugging, that's probably the reason why it shows such behavior. I assume in 15.10, MATE (or whatever component is responsible of resizing on window size changes) didn't require RANDR 1.3 yet, but only 1.2, which the current nx-libs does provide. If that changed with the packages in 16.04, we're in for trouble. I don't think it makes sense to backport RANDR 1.3 to nx-libs 3.5, but instead have it on the agenda for 3.6. X2Go is scheduled to eventually switch to 3.6 anyway and at least the nightly repository can coexist with both 3.5.0.x and 3.5.99 as released by Arctica last month. > My present work around is to type: > > xrandr -s 1680x1050 > > Every time I login but that is kind of a pain in the arse. It is. Try to automate it by creating a startup item in your desktop environment and running this as a script. Still a hacky workaround, but you'll save yourself the pain of doing that manually.
