[X2go-dev] x2go with ubuntu/natty

Hi,

I've experimented with running x2goserver on ubuntu/natty. I can report
success, but the 'default' GNOME session just makes the x2goagent
segfault. As a workaround, I can get a proper gnome session by using a
'custom desktop' with the following command line:

/usr/bin/gnome-session --session 2d-gnome


I find this pretty unobvious, but I can only conclude that ubuntu tries
to enable unity and/or graphic effects by default, which in turn causes
the mentioned segmentation fault in the x2goagent.

How can this be improved in x2go? On a brief code inspection, it seems
that the "session command" is determined in x2goclient. However as I
suspect that not all distributions and/or gnome installations support
the '2d-gnome' session type, this should only happen where necessary.

What are your thoughts on this issue?
