[X2Go-Dev] Bug#682: X2Go client on Ubuntu 14.04 always connect with session type unix-kde

[Biocyberman]

Package: x2goclient

The problem:
When using x2goclient to connect to the server, I can't get the session to
finish starting up. I can access the remote MATE desktop (Ubuntu 14.04)
menus (i.e. "Applications", "Places", "System") but now icons appear on the
desktop. Starting of applications take much longer time than expected.

My work around:
Switch to connecting using KDE session, or using PyHoca-GUI to connect. If
I use PyHoca-GUI, I can connect to the server with MATE session type
successfully. This work around suggests clearly that X2Goclient has some
problems to form proper connect to the server. And I think the fixed
"session type" information below at "Information from 'Show Details'" is
causing the problem.


Thanks for the work of X2Go

Kind regards
Adam
