Hi Emanuele,

1st of all, I'm glad you were able to find a workaround. I am replying
to the mailing list so that people can see that workaround.

I ran some tests. I believe I was unable to reproduce your bug, but I
did produce a different bug:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmL_OrCln9ShdHcxbTQ3amJZdlp1b3pkcWpveWtwSlE&usp=sharing

I will check if my bug is already reported. If it isn't, I will report it.

In the meantime, can you please report your bug to our bug tracker?
Instructions here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:bugs
File the bug against the package "x2goserver".

Please mention your exact client OS and server OS. Also the x2go
client version and the x2go server version For example:
Win 8.1 64-bit Pro
Ubuntu 12.04.4 32-bit
X2Go Client 4.0.1.3
X2Go Server 4.0.1.13

I understand that you are not an expert with Linux, so let us know if
you have any questions.
