-  * The weakness of X2Go definitely is the NX Xserver used for display server session on the client 
-  * This coding project would be a start to gradually update the Xserver extensions shipped with NX 
-  * During this project you will get a deep insight into Xserver code. You need good C and Cplusplus skills to start this code project. You have to be a magician with C coding debugging tools!!!
