[X2Go-User] X2Go on submarine control system

No joy yet.

I generated keys on the linux side:
 > ssh-keygen -t dsa
Copied the public key to "authorized_keys" in ~/.ssh
Copied the private key by sneaker-net to the Windows machine.
There, I specified the latter (key file) in the field "Use RSA/DSA key 
for ssh connection".

Then tried connecting - can't do it (tries quite a while, then times out).
I did try both with and without the box "Try auto login" checked; 
doesn't work either way.
Left the last 2 boxes unchecked.
