On the windows x2goclient 4.0.1.2, in the "Session type" list I see "Connect to Windows terminal server."

<br>
really great. The proxy feature seems to work without any special<br>
configuration on the x2go server. Though, what did not work<br>
is the tunneling of rdp (rdesktop) through SSH. When I choose<br>
"direct rdp connection" then the connection works. There should<br>
be a corresponding setting where we could also tunnel rdp through<br>
ssh when selecting ssh proxy like the standard connections I have<br>
tested now.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
