[X2Go-User] X2GO Mac client

[Anders Bruun Olsen]

My users were also used to Gnome, but due to problems with Gnome in newer
Ubuntu versions, we took the plunge and switched to XFCE.
I realize that this isn't a usable answer for you, but I am afraid that I
can't really help much more.
I would try to look in logfiles and see if the panel actually crashes, or
if it is just x2go that somehow hides it.
