[X2go-dev] screen saver extension

[rf at q-leap.de]

Hi again,

is it really possible that nobody knows how to do this or whether it is
possible at all? I'd appreciate a short answer. Here the question again:

Is it possible to start x2go with the X11 screen saver extension
enabled, and if yes, how?

Thanks,

Roland
