Package: x2goserver Severity: important Version: 4.0.0.0
Hi Christoffer,I submit the below issue as a bug to X2Go BTS. I file it against X2Go Server for now, however, a real fix is probably needed in nx-libs xfixes extension. So we may reassign this issue later...

Hello list [ ...]
On my Ubuntu 12.04 server. Now, when i connect using the x2goclient, it works well when i select a resolution and run it in a window, but when i select fullscreen, the resolution is 1920 X 1200, no matter the resolution on the client monitor. This results in the Unity controls being unusable. Before the upgrades, there were no trouble. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
It is very likely that not nx-libs caused this, but an upgrade of x2goserver to version 4.0.0.0.
In 4.0.0.0 we have added a configuration file (/etc/x2go/x2goagent) that disables the GLX and the XFIXES extension. Obviously, disabling the XFIXES extension causes problems in precise's Unity and the screen resolution is not set properly anymore.
For now, please comment out this line in x2goagent.options: --- /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options.orig 2013-01-09 12:27:24.755957564 +0100 +++ /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options 2013-01-09 12:20:13.927957925 +0100 @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ # Disable XFIXES.# Workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxfixes/+bug/985202

Still a little in the dark, but the above change in x2goagent.options seems to solve the reported issue. However, enabling XFIXES in x2goagent again leads to other problems, that were lately discussed on IRC. Do what causes least problems for you...
Mike's question at the other devs is: wouldn't it be better to comment out the recommended extension disablings as opposed to disabling the extension right away and expecting not-so-well tested errors? Feedback? Opinions?
