"Forced" might be too strong a word. Plenty of distributions apply
their own patches to fix bugs and dependency issues that various
software package developers leave unfixed for years, or even
decades.
I'd like to hope that the X2Go developers would not be so negligent as
to let their Debian and openSUSE packages languish in an essentially
unusable state. (In fact, the problem must also affect those building
from source on modern systems.) But being a volunteer developer of
other projects, I know that time is often in short supply.
I've included a patch with my bug report so hopefully this has taken
most of the work out of solving the problem.
Regards,
Tristan
