[X2Go-User] user profile not loaded on login to remote ubuntu machine, x2go server with gnome-fallback-session

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi Matthew,

can you report this (under your name) to X2Go BTS?
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:bugs

This has to be fixed upstream in x2goserver-xsession!

Thanks,
Mike
