Hm, and I would have expected for it to be usernames with spaces to
go havoc (those occur esp. in winbind-ed environments), since the
x2go stack has a notorious underquoting of shell variables all over
the place.

[Exhibit 1]
./x2goserver_3.0.99.10/x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent:
OUTPUT=`x2godesktopsharing client $X2GO_CLIENT $X2GO_GEOMETRY $X2GO_LINK
$X2GO_PACK $X2GO_TYPE $X2GO_KBD_LAYOUT $X2GO_KBD_TYPE $X2GO_SET_KBD $X2GO_STYPE
$X2GO_CMD $USER`
