Hi Stéphane,

X2go upstream has already forked nxagent as x2goagent. My current  
favorite for X2go is to rename all NX libraries and make it a real NX  
fork within X2go (as Jonas has suggested). This, of course, has to be  
discussed with Heinz and Alex. I have a telephone appointment with  
Heinz probably during next week.

Note that the X2go Git is rather new and the first commits are  
actually import from a series of tarballs.

NX code in X2go: files from NX that have been changed for X2go are  
still kept in Git as *.NX.original files (similar to what NoMachine  
did, they renamed files to *.X.original files.

Ok... that's pretty recent... They are still working on NXv3? Well...  
I did not know that...

I guess we should really take a look at what NoMachine has come up with...

We have to discuss how to proceed with NX (fork or use NX from NoMachine...).

I will bring the issue up on x2go-dev...

nxproxy? (you wrote: nxagent)

Hmmm... One thing that X2go has changed about nxagent is the Logo on  
session logon (when run in desktop mode). The NoMachine logo has been  
replaced by the X2go logo. That should be dealt with, I guess (by  
adding a --splash option e.g.).

Thanks for all your work, I will make x2go-dev (upstream) aware of  
this thread...

Greets,
Mike
