Hi,
unfortunately I have to use cairo-1.12.6 since 1.12.2-r4 scrambles my
printing of PDF files (it's completely unusable).
There might be a fix for NX at
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2012-May/003962.html
There is a Debian source package at
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=snapshot;h=5a640efd1002d5fadff72542afb8e00bd14bcb6e;sf=tgz
but I'd need help for using that for NX or I have to switch to X2GO.
Helmut.
