Hi Stefan
I'd built up a remote desktop solution for some schools where the initial desktop was on an ubuntu cloud server.
However, on that Cloud server I had dozens of LXD containers which have a variety of different Desktop Environments in some of them as well as different purposes.
LXD is a "system" container technology versus the Docker type "application" container technology.
So some of the LXD containers might be more oriented to a specific "group" of educational users like science, or writing, or even teachers.
Those LXD containers are on their own 10.x.x.x network.
I wanted to use x2go to get to the "host" server Desktop but then just have Desktop Icon's setup to use x2goclient cli to connect them further to a specific LXD container Desktop of their choosing.
But although pyhoca-cli supports specifying a "- -server" target the x2goclient cli does not include that option.
However, the x2goclient cli supports other options I wanted to use that the pyhoca-cli does not such as "no-session-edit", "hide-menu-toolbar" etc.
My use-case problem really revolved around those kind of feature option differences between the two CLI methods.
So I submitted the wish-list bug just to ask as not being a coder I don't know if something is alot or a little work but there was no harm asking.
I just hadn't gotten any response. As I know you guys are busy with the future of Artica (btw I'm anxious to see what it is/does)... I thought I'd just send a ping to make sure someone at least took a look at the request.
By the way... Happy New Years to all of you guys on the x2go & artica team(s)...!

the -- server option exists for pyhoca-cli but not for the x2goclient cli ?
Could it be added to provide that feature parity in the CLI ?
Brian, it seems you're the only one that's particularly interested in this feature. ;-)
That's why I doubt it'll be coming anytime soon, unless $SOMEBODY submits a patch or offers to pay for it.
However, maybe you'd like to share why you see a use case for it? (I doubt that "aesthetic beauty" is your only motivation for filing that wishlist bug. ;-)) Maybe there's an easy workaround that you could use.
