I have added Trinity Desktop support to PyHoca-GUI. If the user  
selects the ,,Trinity X Desktop'' then x2goruncommand tries to start  
,,starttrinity'' on the X2go server.

For this then to work you'll need to create a symlink from  
/usr/bin/starttrinity to /opt/trinity/bin/startkde.

@Alex: how about adding this to x2goclient, too?

I will propose the adding of the symlink to the trinity package  
maintainer (.deb packages are currently only available on the Trinity  
upstream site, no packages in Debian visible, yet).
