Hi list,
I'm currently experimenting with x2goclient 3.99.2.2 on Mac OS X and
this is what I've found "weird/fix-worthy" so far:
- PulseAudio stutters (just like it does in the current MS-Windows client)
- when x2goclient is called with "--hide", there is no way to
access the "Published Applications" menu 2.1) there is no way to start published applications from the dock
(compare right-click on systray icon on MS-Windows) 2.2) there also is no way to start published applications from the
x2goclient menu on the upper screen borderRe: 1) I'm not sure what we can do about this; it seems Mihai's
attempts to make the PulseAudio developers aware of the issues have
failed. :-(The other issues look like they could be fixed by the x2go-devs,
though, so I'm posting my suggestions here:Re: 2) "--hide", on Windows (and probably also on Linux, though I
never checked it there), means "hide-to-systray", so parts of the
application remain accessible via right-click (context menu). I guess a sensible action on Mac OS, when "--hide" is used, would be
to do a "minimize" by going straight to the Dock on startup, but,
upon clicking the Dock icon, show the usual screen (just like after
un-minimizing any other app). This is under the assumption that "2.1)" simply doesn't work on Mac OS. An alternative would be to remain "hidden", i.e. without a visible
window on screen, and offering a pull-down menu with all published
applications on the top menu bar ("2.2)").Now, before anyone starts coding away on this, I'd like to see some
feedback from the Mac users here: a) Where do you expect to find a list of published applications? b) Is there a UI styleguide by Apple that says this must/must
not/should/should not be done in a particular way?
once you are sure if something is an X2Go bug or not, please send a mail to
To: submit@bugs.x2go.org Subject: some proper description of your issue Body: Package: x2goclient Version: 3.99.2.2 Severity: minor
<describe the issue here>
IMPORTANT: please post one issue per bug report, so that we can do the
house-keeping properly.
Thanks, Mike
