[X2Go-User] First Time Woes

[Eric Kolotyluk]

OK, I had to install MATE, and was able to get it working. None of the 
others worked, including KDE.

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated.

At this point, I would suggest adding to your documentation that for 
Ubuntu 15.04 people use http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download and follow 
the steps for Ubuntu 14.04 with "Ubuntu MATE"

My next step is to see if I can get this working on an EC2 instance.

Cheers, Eric
