Thanks!

OK, thanks for the info. I didn't set the session type at all, the
command line I use looks like this (with added "-t desktop"):

pyhoca-cli --server servername -c gnome-session -u username -k
~/.ssh/id_dsa --add-to-known-hosts --sound none --kbd-layout se
--kbd-type pc105/se -g 1238x929 --pack 16m-png-9 -t desktop

I'm having trouble closing the window, nothing happens. I've tried
clicking the close window control, choosing "Close" from the window
menu and hitting Alt+F4 ... nothing. Minimize and maximize window
controls work.

If I start a session with x2goclient-cli to the same server I can
close the window, i.e. it shouldn't be a server issue.

I'm using pyhoca-cli version 0.1.4.1 on Debian Squeeze, the server is
also Debian Squeeze with x2goserver 3.0.99.5.

Cheers,
Daniel
