Hi,
is it possible to remove the dependency for kdialog from x2goserver package? [...] What about switching to zenity? It needs GTK, but opposed to KDE, that should be available on almost any system, shouldn't it?
Well, I'm not Sören, but IMO it should not be hard-coded to any *dialog at all. My current systems, which obviously and admittedly are "historically grown", are Gnome-free and based on KDE. Which is probably why I never noticed that kdialog is hardcoded here, since everything worked for me. In the future, I'd like to move away from that and use a bare minimum install providing only the absolutely necessary binaries to my users (they're using rootless mode, so I don't need a full-blown desktop environment) - that should significantly reduce the required disk space and thus make updating/upgrading these distributed systems (spread across Germany, with some in rural regions with "DSL lite" connections) a lot easier...
I was hoping that I could do away with dialog-based scripts entirely, thanks to Alex' willingness to add a much-needed (by me, at least ;-)) feature to X2Go soon, but if there still is a need for some kind of *dialog, it should be configurable (and I'd probably use Xdialog on my machines, even though it is currently unmaintained).
