[X2Go-User] Fwd: [X2Go-Dev] Bug#1058: Option to force new session when suspended session is present

[Oleksandr Shneyder]

Hi,

X2Go Client already has command line parameter:

--no-autoresume

which forces X2Go Client to show the list of sessions, even if only one
suspended session is present. The default behavior should not be
changed. The users should become their suspended session as fast as
possible and without further interaction with a client. Any one, who has
non common use cases should use command line argument.

regards
Alex
