[X2Go-User] X2 Go Client Android Project?

      I have an LG G 8.3 Android Tablet, I currently use RDP protocol to access
graphical sessions on my servers when I access from the tablet because of lack
of availability.

      The RDP client is functional but slow and no sound.  Some click targets
are very small but I can use them successfully using the stylus that came with
the pad.

      An X2Go Client would be nice but I've got too many things on my stack
and don't really know Python so attempting a hack not too plausible for me at
this time.
