[X2Go-Dev] [X2GO] SSH agent forwarding

[Antoine Tran]

Thank you for your answer.  We use 
https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.1.1-2018.03.01/ 
and not python GUI, as this implementation is very old (from 2015) and 
in my test, it didn't work well and was less convenient (than x2goclient).
