Mike et al,

I have forwarded the information to the VcxSrv dev directly on his business email; which I will not disclose.  Marc is awesome and will get these things sorted.

One area we have real issues with, which he cannot replicate, is the toggling of Num Lock between physical and X2Go sessions.  If you can break it please let me know with suitable steps.

Cheers, and when responding please take 30 seconds to think about the people in Japan.

Phil.
