This has been a bad idea, as I reckon today. It can introduce all sorts of breakages, if the SVG file in /etc/x2go/ is bogus.
Furthermore, the symlinking code in debian/x2gothinclient-minidesktop.links was possibly bad, too. Not 100% sure with some more testing.
Today, I would propose another approach: install a background image to /usr/share/backgrounds/x2go/, make it be the default desktop-base background and remove it from /etc/x2go/ entirely.
If people want to override the default background image, they need to use update-alternatives and fiddle with desktop-base themselves.
Before I start working on a patch, let me know what you think.
As you know - or well, you probably noticed from the questions I've asked on IRC and on this list lately - ;-), I've been working on getting a TCE-Live-based MMD ready for use (or at least polished up enough that it might catch the eye and interest of a commercial sponsor ...).
In doing so, I noticed a few other peculiarities as well. Maybe they stem from you not knowing better at the time, maybe they are the way they are because that's just how things need to be with an NFS-based MMD. And maybe I just don't know enough about MATE to fully grasp what you did ...
So maybe we should agree on a time slot and show our findings to each other and work out a plan, not only for this issue, but for the general future of MMD (or TCE-MMD-Live in particular)?
