Only the GUI is not "clean": it's split vertically in two parts and "worst", on the right, one can still see the name of the session. Well, it's not a drama, but it's not so clean as the pyHoca interface.

I think all that's asked for is a mode of x2goclient that does not
display the session list on the right. Should be doable.

What I am wondering: I don't see why pyhoca session initialization
should be slower than x2goclient as they are both doing the same
basically.
