[X2Go-User] Desktop sharing like "screen -x" with X2GO?

[Mike Gabriel]

Hi,

in the X2Go Client that you want to connect as he second instance (equivalent to screen -x) you have to select session type "Connect to local desktop" in the session profile.

This wording is not quite correct. You can connect to a desktop running on a local display as well as connect to an X2Go desktop session (running headless / on a remote X2Go Client).

Greets,
Mike
