Hello list!
I am a bit confused re. the discrepancy between wiki and actual behaviour of x2godesktop sharing:
x the wiki [1] reads that With the desktopsharing function of X2go you can have full-access the desktop from somebody else...
x when I (USER_B) connect from a remote machine with x2goclient to "local desktop" (USER_A logged in on tty7 of x2goserver), the USER_A's session is shown in the lists of sessions available for sharing, however the button "Full Access" is greyed-out and cannot be clicked. So USER_B is only allowed to view the USER_A's deskto.
x having looked at x2godesktopsharing.git/sharetray.cpp, I can see ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ x2goclient.git/onmainwindow_part2.cpp
that this is due to "bShadow->SetEnabled ( user==getCurrentUname() );" and have verified that the following patch removes the limitation:

bShadow->setEnabled ( user==getCurrentUname() );
bShadow->setEnabled ( true );===
Is this intentional behaviour due to the potential security issues mentioned here [2] (anyway, the remote user _can_ recompile the x2goagent to get rid of the limitation)? ^^^^^^^^^ x2goclient
