<p>Hi Terje,</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for the suggestion to give Mate a try. I installed it now on the x2go server and surprise, surprise.. the bottom-panel is no longer</p><p>missing when connecting from a Mac client. I'm now playing around with the settings to make it look like Gnome as much</p><p>as possible so the users don't get too scared :) </p><p> </p><p>Kind regards,</p><p> </p><p>Mervin<br /><br /><br />----------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Message: 1<br />Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 19:16:42 +0100<br />From: Terje Andersen <teranders@gmail.com><br />To: x2go-user@lists.berlios.de<br />Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] X2GO Mac client<br />Message-ID:<br /> <CA+xgCOJG1gnc7Qt0Q__9jv88OBRWR8fs3y8kA4ekbdWTnPwxUQ@mail.gmail.com><br />Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br /><br />Then youshould try the mate desktop.<br />It's a fork of gnome 2 that works well with x2go.<br /> 18. des. 2013 10:48 skrev "Anders Bruun Olsen" <abo@dsl.dk> f?lgende:<br /><br />> My users were also used to Gnome, but due to problems with Gnome in newer<br />> Ubuntu versions, we took the plunge and switched to XFCE.<br />> I realize that this isn't a usable answer for you, but I am afraid that I<br />> can't really help much more.<br />> I would try to look in logfiles and see if the panel actually crashes, or<br />> if it is just x2go that somehow hides it.<br />><br />><br />> 2013/12/18 Mervin Graves <mervin@accelcloud.com><br />><br />>> We are using gnome-session-fallback as a desktop environment.
