In the meantime, we can slot in the bits into the code to make it work with either X server and to call it when we have the session information as opposed to before like it is now. That will give us rootless and fullscreen capabilities. It will be even better if we can detect if there is an existing multiwindow. We need to do all that regardless of whom we ultimately use.
Alex, we would actually prefer you do that as we truly are not developers. Do you have time for that portion, i.e., not fixing vcxsrv but simply changing the X2Go Client code? If, not, we'll take our best stab at it. Gerry, if we find the vcxsrv folks are not able to get to this right away, do you have anyone with X skills who could troubleshoot and fix it? That's way out of our league. Thanks, all - John _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list X2go-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
