Thanks for the time you all put into this!!! I agree with John and also think 
that the upstream development should be as generic as possible and tweaking 
code such as the proposed change should be either done in the distribution 
package or possibly even better by the site administrator.

However, if people have patches that are generic and dedicated to upstream 
X2go and also ease a usage scenario like the one requested by Uni Erlangen, I 
guess there is a good chance of code inclusion into upstream.

Greets,
Mike

Thanks,
Mike
