Hi there,

I looked into the x2gomountdirs script and this is intended...

   cd -> client-side CD-ROM
   disk -> client-side Hard-Disk
   rm -> client-side Removable Media

For people that work with a unix shell the short terms ,,cd'' and  
,,rm'' are really confusing (cd=Change Directory, rm=Remove File). I  
wish, x2go would be more verbose here:

mike at vidar:~/media$ tree -L 2
.
|
|`- CD+DVD-Rom
|
|`- Locally-Shared-Folder
|   |
|   `- _home_m.gabriel_test
|
`- Removable-Media

It might also be nice to have a config file for x2gomountdirs so that  
the user can customize these names...

Greets,
Mike
