[X2Go-Dev] running X2Go Server in userspace

Thanks for finding such a nice subject line.

That seems to be unimportant to me. Once a user is logged onto the
server, he/she can of course use any service that is provided on that
machine. The x2go project has certainly reasons to provide some printing
support. But I believe that is irrelevant for my case. And since I am
not near the server and/or the printer, I happily exclude to consider
this cups and sudo business there.

I might need to send graphics over a 2mbit line and just a few minutes
ago, I've run an experiment where x2go performed quite reasonable (at
least much better than what I have seen over a normal remote X
connection.  (Thank you guys for working on this.)
