 +     - src/onmainwindow.{cpp,h}: don't error out directly if starting the X.Org
 +       Server failed on Windows. Instead, try starting it three times, each
 +       time with a higher DISPLAY offset. On busy client machines, several
 +       clients raced for the sockets previously and often failed to start. Also
 +       check if the server binary actually is still alive before doing the TCP
 +       connection checks. A dead server won't be able to listen on a socket in
 +       the first place.
 +     - {src/{onmainwindow.{cpp,h},help.cpp},man/man1/x2goclient.1}: add new
 +       option --xserver-start-limit, replacing the formerly hardcoded limit of
 +       three tries.
 +     - copy-deps-win32.bat: update to 20180615-1 Cygwin bundle, shipping with
 +       a further modified OpenSSH Server version at 7.7p1-1-x2go1 and without
 +       chgrp.
 +     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: disable private host key permissions check in
 +       OpenSSH Server on Windows. Fixes: #1156.

-[[https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/600|nx-libs issue 600]] When you connect to an x2go server with nx-libs 3.6 beta (3.5.99.x) rather than nx-libs 3.5.0.x stable, you would likely experience the Desktop flashing when maximizing window. (Despite the title of the issue, it can be experienced with a single screen/monitor on Windows.) Many Linux distros have adopted nx-libs 3.6 beta, such as Fedora 28 & Ubuntu 18.04 . (x2goserver 4.1.0.0 added support for nx-libs 3.6 beta, so it is correlated with it.)+[[https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/600|nx-libs issue 600]] When you connect to an x2go server with nx-libs 3.6 beta (3.5.99.x) rather than nx-libs 3.5.0.x stable, you would likely experience the Desktop flashing when maximizing window.
