Alex,

Your patch successfully fixed the problem of X2goClient crashing when
a username is not entered. Good job on that.

And I tested it on my Windows XP SP3 32-bit VM (in addition to my
desktop with Win 8.1 64-bit), the GSSAPI / Kerberos auth works there
too.

However, I still managed to produce one more crash on Windows, albeit
an obscure one.

If GSSAPI authentication is enabled, and you connect through an SSH
proxy, that SSH proxy must also use GSSAPI. It prompts you for a
password, but it seems to ignore it. I've entered an incorrect
password and still connects. This is not that bad of a bug and I think
we can launch 4.0.1.2 despite it.

If that proxy does successfully authenticate using GSSAPI, and you
successfully connect to the x2goserver via GSSAPI, the session opens
and works as far as I've tested it. However, on disconnect, the
x2goclient crashes.

I do not know if this crash would be realistically produced. After
all, if the entire point of the proxy is to connect through a
firewall, would you really be using Kerberos auth to both the proxy
and the x2goserver? I do not think this crash bug has to be fixed
before 4.0.1.2, but I thought I'd mention it and the former bug. (I
will put them in the bug tracker if we do launch with these bugs.)
