That's a very creative idea but it means either editing thousands (hopefully) of clients spread all over the world or replacing the startkde file with a script and remembering that after every upgrade for every virtual machine (we map one virtual machine per virtual desktop). That's why we'd rather control it using standard bash configuration in the base image from which we build the virtual machines.
What files does X2Go use to configure its bash environment if not /etc/profile? Thanks - John _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list X2go-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
