Or maybe a warning should be issued if "xhost" is set to + when a user

Nope! In default setups no other distro evokes xhost + on session
startup. This is just insane!!! So we ignore this issue in X2Go upstream
completely.

I'd still vote for adding a check + warning to X2Go.
Even if this brain-dead setup that is rolled out by Linux Mint isn't the default in other distros, someone might set "xhost +" somewhere, sometime, and totally forget about it. A reminder/warning "Hey, you're running X2Go on a host that hast 'xhost +' set, this is a really bad idea", followed by a short explanation, would make sense, IMO.

Any patch is welcome (on the other hand). But do not introduce a daemon that checks .Xauthority every five seconds ;-)...

Mike
