  FIXME it would be cool if most of the TCE-specific boot parameters could be placed into a file that in turn can be specified as a boot parameter, to reduce clutter and boot parameter length. This file would then have to be sourced by the scripts, after they have extracted everything from /proc/cmdline. This will make adding the feature easier, by simply deciding that parameters from this file take precendence over boot parameters. One might
argue that boot parameters should take precedence over the config file, but this sounds way more complicated to implement.
  ===== List of closed ToDos/FIXMEs for this page ===== 
    * ''audioout='', ''blank='', ''*blankdpmsfix'', ''nodpms'', ''xinerama='', are currently unsupported in MiniDesktop-Mode, but this is being worked on, by outsourcing them into scripts under ''/etc/X11/Xsession.d/'' (currently, they reside in ''/lib/live/config/2900-x2go-thinclientconfig'' - which doesn't exist in the MiniDesktop branches - and from there, they get written to ''~/.xsession'' - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
- 
    * It would be nice to have a boot parameter ''xroot=[0xaabbcc|URI1[|URI2|...]]'' for the desktop background image/color, and a boot parameter ''xrootmode=center|fill|scale|tile'' to determine how the image(s) should be positioned (if the parameter has been set, but something is wrong, it should default to the "grey mesh" background) - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go
repo
- 
    * It would also be nice to have boot parameters ''xsaverimages=[URI1[|URI2|...]]'', ''xsaveridletime=n'', ''xsaverimgtime=n'', for a local, non-locking slideshow screensaver (if no images are specified/downloaded by the time it activates, it should just blank the screen). That way, one could display a slideshow without having to push the images across the network every time  - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
- 
    * Boot parameters ''blankdpmsfix'' and ''earlyblankdpmsfix'' still leave the screen blank for too long, when used in netboot mode (especially over slow links). Two ways to solve this are to either use local storage, or to use the initrd with the squashfs merged into it.  A third, new option would be a boot parameter ''initrdblankdpmsfix'', where the un-blanking code of ''earlyblankdpmsfix'' is applied in the initrd already - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
- 
- 
    * There might be a race condition between the scripts handling the sshd keyfile
and the ssh private key file copy task (/config ...), causing one to umount the fixed disk before the other is done reading/copying. What's weird is that there already is code that is supposed to keep this from happening, but it doesn't. - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
    * Setting the time via NTP will fail if the TC can't establish a connection to an NTP server via the internet. It would make sense to allow specifying an internal NTP server via a boot parameter. - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
    * ''copysecring'' currently does not work in MiniDesktop-Mode, as it copies the keys to the wrong user's homedir. - fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
    * copying ssh private keys seems to fail in MiniDesktop-Mode - possibly because of the priming/pruning/cleanup action performed on the homedirectory by the minidesktop init scripts? -  should already be fixed in github repo, soon in x2go repo
