Sorry, quickfix: s/implicitly/explicitely/

Hi, Chris.
So it directly goes into the local X server? Wow... that's awful... like a security nightmare... Then, you don't use ssh -X/-Y, do you?
And people don't see x2go (or VNC, or rdp) like a direct access to their X server (as in plain X forwarding with xauth and that like). Why do you think so? Because they have it in window and didn't specify any option that exactly means 'turn on X11 forwarding'? After all, I think that it's not a grave issue as most people use X11 forwarding for rather trusted hosts (or just don't care).
One additional note: it's possible to turn on clipboard forwarding in RDP and VNC (and it's a very useful thing) but AFAIR in most clients _one have to specify it implicitly_ (and sometimes there's a separate option that allows some restricted clipboard access, for example: copying from remote to local but not vise versa). May be someone will make a patch to implement such options in X2Go.
