[X2Go-Dev] Different behavior of X2Go Client from Desktop and TCE

Anyway, having to install a WM in a TCE is not dumb stuff, it makes TCE acts much more like a real desktop than without it (and thus, easier to debug and a more uniform setup than with local fat client).
The real problem was this was not part of the x2gothinclient-displaymanager install and so, you had to patch the installation by hand which is always risky.

That's what I am saying. It is NOT the xinerama code going nuts, the
difference is happening somewhere else in nxagent. I will try to
determine the cause tonight.
