Hi Alex,

I've made some tests on Windows XP and Windows 7 to see if Xming can be replaced with VcXsrv.

Your test results fully match my experiences with PyHoca-GUI.
What we can do now:
- We can provide x2goclient with Xming, but make it configurable to launch other Xserver.
Configurability is great! (that is a +1 for me for this last option).
In PyHoca-GUI I already do that. I have introduced a x2config
configuration file in ~/.x2goclient (without discussing it before). I
drop this in now and maybe you like it and we find a common solution
for XServer configuration on Windows.Greetings, Mike
