[X2Go-User] x2go-user Digest, Vol 19, Issue 6

I use x2go "connection to local desktop" feature a lot.  My server happens
to have multiple displays.  I usually choose the display number I want in
the presented menu that asks me choose the display number and connection
type (view only or full control).  Is there any way to specify the display
number  and "full control" beforehand (i.e. avoid the choose the display
dialog).  If I can pre-specify the display number and avoid the "choose
display" dialog, I can make the shortcut truly a shortcut.  Any
help/suggestions in this regard is appreciated.  I looked through the
connection conf file that x2go creates in the ~/.x2go folder and could not
figure out myself.

Thank you in advance.
