The problem still persists in Debian wheezy.
When I open a remote X2Go session, in windowed desktop mode, I can
resize the desktop session window but the GNOME3 session inside that
desktop session window does not resize its elements.
The problem now seems to be that the _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) =
<width>, <height> does not get updated if the bearing NX/X-Server
screen resizes.
If I run a similar test with MATE as desktop shell, I can resize the
X2Go desktop session's window and all MATE desktop elements resize as
needed to fit the new desktop size. Whenever such a resize event
occurs, the _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) = <width>, <height> gets
updated with the new windowed X2Go desktop session geometry.
The problem in Debian testing is different.
The NX/X11 code provides a very old GLX extension (v6 IIRC) which is
not recent enough for GNOMEv3 (>= 3.8 IMHO) to be usable inside an
X2Go session.
There are people that fiddle with setting up a GNOME3 session via
calling the GNOME desktops components individually via a script (so
omitting the actual gnome-session call on session startup), but that
is still very hacky not I consider that only as a work around for X2Go
and not recommendable.
Greets,
Mike
