Open an XFCE session, all works fine until you start Icedove. It kills the X2Go client.

Debian and Ubuntu versions of X2Go client are not affected.

No other application caused this bug as far as I know.

Does this also happen when you run Icedove like this:

export MOZ_DISABLE_IMAGE_OPTIMIZE=1
icedove

@sebastiendu: Can you please grab the 3.6.x branch of nx-libs, build it on your X2Go Server and replace the 3.5.x version of nx-libs from X2Go with the packages derived from the 3.6.x source tree?

You can also obtain pre-built binaries of 3.6.x nx-libs packages as described here:

I installed the pre-built binaries of 3.6.x nx-libs packages on our server.
It fixed the issue on MacOSX at least. I am waiting for more feedback from users.

@sebastiendu: any more feedback on your nxagent crashes caused by Icedove? Thanks for feedback.

Ok I just got feedback from the other user, who does not use X2Go so often. The bug does not occur anymore with the new libs, server-side.
