Testing with media-libs/fontconfig-infinality (the only example in tree I found that handled /etc/X11/Xresources), skipping the symlink creation did not change nxagent behaviour

Symlink not installed anymore in x2goserver-4.0.1.18-r2 :)
Comment 2 Maciej S. Szmigiero 2016-01-28 23:40:15 UTC
I think it would be better to provide empty /etc/X11/Xresources file instead
of removing this symlink
(or /etc/X11/xinit/Xresources since that's where /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc from x11-apps/xinit looks at by default).
This empty file may be provided by x11-apps/xinit package like other files in that
directory.

X resources are useful for example for configuring xterm default behavior,
so I had to recreate this symlink at x2goserver-4.0.1.19 to make them work again
(OK, it isn't a big issue but I think it is better when it works out of the box).
